Scythian language

The Scythian language refers to the ancient languages spoken by the Scythian people, a nomadic group that thrived in the Eurasian steppes from around the 9th century BC to the 4th century AD. Although the Scythian language is not directly documented, it is believed to be part of the Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family. Much of what we know comes from inscriptions, interpretations of historical texts, and related languages. The Scythians left a significant cultural impact on history, particularly through their art, trade, and interactions with neighboring civilizations like the Greeks and Persians.
