Sanskrit have numerous common vocables. Greek and Vedic Sanskrit have not a small number of common vocables. The Aryans had no script of their own. Pre-Greekāryan script and language influenced much the Greekāryan language and gave its vocables a particular mode and direction. The Brahmaryans adopted proto-Brahmi script of the protoAustraloid for their speech Circa 1000 B. C. The vocables of the Brahmaryan speech were largely shaped by the Austric language. The comparative study of Austric and Vedic Sanskrit languages reveals sufficient Austric influences over Sanskrit. The Cerebrals and inflexion of nouns in IndoAryan (Brahmaryan) languages are the influences of the Austric language. The first Aryan literature, Rgveda, has no word for a large number of plants, animals and unknown products of the new country. They acquired important loans from the languages of the non-Dravidian populations with whom they first came in contact.12 The Aryan languages in Greece and Bharata came in contact with richer and superior pre-Aryan foreign languages and hence attained big progress while the Lithuanian had no such pre-Aryan linguistic contacts. This accounts for the deviation of the Sanskrit and Greek languages from the basic Aryan idioms while the Lithuanian remained nearest to them. Their vocables took particular shapes owing to different environmental conditions. The history of pre-Aryan linguistic influences in the development of the Aryan vocables challenges the patience of expert linguists.
of the Aryans in this age What Aryan literary records Records in Bharata, Iran and Greece available are not pure Aryan records. They are preponderantly and overwheImingly influenced by the language and culture of the preAryan people. Ṛgveda is the product of the Aryans and the
The literary records Aryan Literary are very few.
