Proto-Indo-Iranian Language
Proto-Indo-Iranian, also called Proto-Indo-Iranic or Proto-Aryan, is the reconstructed proto-language of the Indo-Iranian branch of Indo-European. Its speakers, the hypothetical Proto-Indo-Iranians, are assumed to have lived in the late 3rd millennium BC, and are often connected with the Sintashta culture of the Eurasian Steppe and the early Andronovo archaeological horizon.

Reconstructed concepts include the universal force ''*Hṛta-'' (Sanskrit ''rta'', Avestan ''asha''), the sacred plant and drink ''*sawHma-'' (Sanskrit '' Soma'', Avestan ''Haoma'') and gods of social order such as ''*mitra-'' (Sanskrit ''Mitra'', Avestan and Old Persian ''Mithra'', ') and ''*bʰaga-'' (Sanskrit ''Bhaga'', Avestan and Old Persian ''Baga''). Proto-Indo-Iranian religion is an archaic offshoot of Indo-European religion. Origins and development Indo-Iranian languages include three subgroups: the Indo-Aryan languages (including the Dardic languages), the Iranian languages (east and west), and the Nuristani languages. From these various and dispersed cultures, a set of common ideas may be reconstructed from which a common, unattested proto-Indo-Iranian source may be deduced. Relation ...
