Iranic-Peoples

Examples of some ethno-linguistically Iranic peoples across contemporary West-Asia.

The word Iranic, in linguistics and anthropology, refers to people who speak a language belonging to the Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family. It does not necessarily mean that they live in the nation-state of Iran.

There are some Iranian nationals who are fully Iranian but do not speak an Iranic language as their mother tongue. And there are many ethno-linguistically Iranian-people (Iranics) who do not necessarily live in Iran.

The relationship of the word Iranic to Iranian is similar to that of Germanic to German, or Turkic to Turkish.

Are you sure that Pashtuns are of Iranic descent? I’ve read that some scholars and historians believe they might be from northern India. It’s still not confirmed whether they are of Iranic or northern Indian origin.
