Who fled west

Indo-Aryan peoples were the same thing as European Aryans

they only moved to India, hence INDO-Aryan

Mind blown

Doesn't mean that Europeans = persians

Not today in 2017

But when they split up from central Asia, with their native tongues, they were same people

And that's where we source our tongues from

That's when the whole Proto-Indo-European started splitting into branches

Maybe the Aryans weren't white

They got assimilated into white europe

Of course they are

Like the huns

Why of course

How does Vedic literature describe Aryan people

As White in skin, of course

ANYWAY

Studies had shown that Slavic people are possibly, among other peoples, also related to ancient Schytians

who were themselves, indeed of Indo-Iranian origin

White in skin

But that would mostly be true of Eastern Slavic peoples

and Western to an extent

I think the original, ur-slavic people, were pretty swarthy

They were described as such

They got assimilated into Europeans

The only description of ancient Slavic peoples describes them the same way as Goths

Untrue

being pale in skin, and of ginger hair

Sec

Procopius - the earliest account of Slavic peoples

He described their looks, their pantheon and their fighting habits

He said they were "ruddy"

i have never seen a swarthy person to be "ruddy" as well

being "ruddy" is a phenomenon of white skin

"Slavic" as a term is too wide to be useful for narrowing down things, and has remained in widespread use due to persistence of Slavic tongues everywhere, especially in toponyms

For example, many Slavic people were assimilated into Germans, and probably didn't differ much from them

In the East on the other hand, we had different events

Russians and Croatians are for example, very different in appearance, yet, in linguistics, very similar

From Germany to Siberai and from Baltic to the Aegean sea, you can see one and the same Slavic names for certain things, especially geographical objects

Are these people the same ? Hardly

How are "Slavic" peoples Sorbs and Macedonians related? almost in no respect
