| | 'Indo-European' religion encapsulates many tribal traditions - Chart - McCaleb Initiative |
 | | The Aryans are often referred to as "Indo-European," for those who migrated west are the ancestors of many Europeans, and those who migrated south are the ancestors of many Indians. | | | Hinduism is one of the oldest religions in the world. | | | In the beginning (at least the beginning of recorded south-Asian history), the Aryan religion of the Vedas was directed by Brahmin priests. |

| | White and Aryan - Stormfront White Nationalist Community |
| | To the best of my knowledge the Aryans are the ancestors of peoples living in Northern India, Pakistan and Iran and have nothing to do with any European ethnicity except for the fact that most Europeans speak Indo-European languages just as Aryans and their descended nations. | | | Everywhere they went they brought their language (proto Indo-European), religion (the sacrificial fire cults of Agni, Varuna, Mitra, Indra, etc), trifunctional caste system, and honor culture. | | | Modern Europeans are generally somewhat physically descended from the Aryans and owe most of their culture to them. |

| | India as a source of wisdom and origin of peoples became especially prominent in the first part of the 19th century, when Europeans were not yet termed as "Aryans". | | | Until the late 19th c., Germans still spoke of the Indo-Germanic languages, religion, and people and the term Aryan had not come in general use. | | | But European scholars invented the mythical 'Aryan Race', and established the disciplines of Semitic verses Indo-European studies. |

| | Though theorising, I suspect that it is a battle that rages between the Old European, Chthonic pantheon and that of the Sky deities of the Indo-Europeans. | | | The religion was not a state religion, but varied from region to region and from tribe to tribe. | | | Typically, Old European goddesses were relegated to the third function, prosperity or fertility, and thus became grouped as "lowest gods". |

| | This testimony is too slender, though, for concluding that the Western Indo-Europeans had come from the East and encountered the Semites on their way to the West. | | | The Sanskrit terms in the Mitannic language attested in Kurdistan in the 15th century BC seem to be a leftover of an Indo-Aryan presence in West Asia, which presupposes an earlier Indo-Aryan migration through (an already predominantly Iranian-speaking) Central Asia. | | | This family of languages is the one with the second greatest geographical spread after IE: from Madagascar through Malaysia and Indonesia, Taiwan and the Philippines, to Melanesia and Polynesia, as far south as New Zealand, as far east as Hawaii and Easter Island. |

| | The scholars of the 19th century that originally tackled the question of the original homeland of the Indo-Europeans (also called Urheimat after the German term), were essentially confined to linguistic evidence. | | | The existence of the Proto-Indo-Europeans has been inferred by comparative linguistics. | | | In the 20th century, great progress was made due to the discovery of more language material belonging to the Indo-European family, and by advances in comparative linguistics, by scholars such as Ferdinand de Saussure. |

| | The clear-cut dichotomy between warring "Indo-Europeans" and peaceful "Pre-Indo-European Europeans" is a fallacy. | | | If I wanted to push my argumentation to the extreme, I could phrase my views as follows: if the "Pre-Indo-European Europeans" were peaceful people, then there was absolutely no need for the arriving "Indo-Europeans" (no matter where they came from) to be war-loving. | | | The centerpiece in our context is certainly Marija Gimbutas, "The Collision of Two Ideologies" (171-178), and the title already clearly indicates her approach. |

| | In addition to asserting that Indo-Europeans from Europe brought new technologies and words to the Chinese, the film ignores the far more important evidence of contacts between early Iranians (who were also Indo-European speakers) and Chinese. | | | The film relies on Western myths about Indo-Europeans when it claims that the mummified corpses prove early contact between European and Chinese civilizations, and even suggests that this contact had a unique impact on the development of Chinese civilization. | | | And in any case, there is no way to conclude that these "Europoid" corpses were Indo-Europeans. |

| | However the original Celtic speaking pre Indo Europeans survived, and evolved the English language out of the earlier Angle and Saxon languages in England and Scotland. | | | The Indo Europeans originated in the Fertile Crescent, and the Celts (Indo Europeans) invaded Britain and Ireland about 2,000 BC at the earliest. | | | From Y chromosome analysis it is now known that the Irish, Welsh, Cornish, most of the English, the Scots, Bretons, Basques and Flemish are the original Europeans, 50,000 years old. |

Bryant will be speaking on Linguistics, the Indo-Europeans, and the Indo-Aryan Migration Debate. | | | In this discussion, Edwin Bryant will touch upon some of the linguistic evidence that is relevant to a discussion of Indo-Aryan origins, and show how much of the same linguistic data can be configured to either support the idea of an Indo-Aryan Migration into the South Asian subcontinent, or contest it. |
