Re: Indo-European et al.

I think I remember from my days in college (early '80s) that some of the old
reference books used "Indo-Aryan" instead of Indo-European or Indo-Germanic.
Am I remembering that correctly?  If I am, what exactly would that have
meant?

Hi, Mark!

Aren't those specifically the Indo-European languages of and from* the South 
Asian subcontinent, the languages that the Aryans imported to the previously 
largely Munda- and Dravidian-speaking area?  At least that's how I use this 
name.

(* This includes the Romany group whose ancestors later migrated to Europe, 
Africa and beyond. It also includes the Iranic varieties of the Middle East 
and Central Asia, including China, and Russia.)

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
