________________
( 88 ) Aryan language existed in South Russia; not that it was the original Aryan Home. Aryans had come down to this region in this period from their original home. The linguistic evidence proves South Russia, the second Aryan Home. The face of the Aryans in South Russia was towards further South and not towards North in their succeeding itinerary as all the nomadic migrations, from central Asia and above, have been to the Western and Southern regions. Hence the area to the East of Lithuanian region parallel to it or a little North above should be the original habitat. This is the vast steppy land just to the South of Ural mountains extending to the East Coast upto sea. This region may be located to the South of circumpolar region and to the North of Caspian and Aral Seas. It covers the Northern parts of the mountainous Eurasian Steppes and the Southern parts of the thick Siberian forests extending upto the Eastern Sea Coast.
