Who were the Aryan people in ancient India?
Groups of people migrate from one area to another. Some groups of people speak the same or similar languages. These groups split and some go one way and others go a different way. Linguists can determine the relationship between various groups of people by studying the languages they speak. They know the patterns that languages follow when sounds change and grammar changes. The Aryan people were an ancient people who moved into North India and conquered the area. They produced the oldest religious writing. A linguist studied that writing to see if he could determine where the Aryans came from. He discovered the Aryans were Greeks. The Greeks had moved out of the Ukurane and some had moved to Greece and some had moved to India.
