Indo-Iranian languages
Indo-Iranian languages are a significant branch of the larger Indo-European language family. They are primarily spoken in South Asia and parts of Iran and the surrounding regions. This group includes major languages like Hindi, Bengali, Punjabi, Persian (Farsi), and Urdu. These languages share common roots and linguistic features, making them similar in grammar and vocabulary. The Indo-Iranian family is divided into two subgroups: the Indo-Aryan languages of the Indian subcontinent and the Iranian languages spoken in Iran and Central Asia. These languages play a crucial role in the cultural and historical identity of the regions where they are spoken.
