   Oh, unless you dout in what Heroduts and other old historians said. They all belive Saramatians tend to be more from Steppe rather than Arian tribes. What's more, you think Alans were Arian? Completely mistake. Alans and Avars are described as relative tribes in which Saramtians were one of the members.
   And we all know first Arian tribes left Eastern Europe and Western Caspian to the destination they named in honor of Ariya; now called Iran.

Alans were not Avars, Alans travelled with Avars, Alans also joined Huns and Vandals.  And it was an Alanian king who led the confederate Roman army which defeated Atilla's forces at Orleans in France at the battle of Chalons, his name was King Sangiban, that is an Iranian name by all definitions.

http://www.fanaticus.org/DBA/battles/chalons.html

Alans also settled into Iranian Kurdistan, the tribe ArdAlan are Alani and they had their own dialect similar to Osi.  You can look at ancient artifacts and you will see Scyths/Sarms etc do not fit the ancient impression of Turks you have Gok Toruk.  It is a fact that Persians, Medes and Parthians came to Iran from Central Asia.  The name of Ashgabat has a Parthian root, for example, and farther a field other major central asian settlements have Iranian names (Samarqand, Balkh, Bukhara and etc). Turks pushed in and assimilated or pushed out the "Arian" nomads.

Among Scyths and Sarmatians body decoration was very popular (tattoos & piercings), also the scyths travelled with wagons, these were not Turkic traits.  Body decoration was normal in Iran up until Islamic times.

You can see Assyrian records show that the Parsua and Medes came from the east, not North.

You can read this article on Sakae - it is NOT written by an Iranian.

U need to show us some proof.And I seem to remember of herodotus saying that Scyths and Sarmats were kindred, not the other way around.

And explain where did we Serbs pick up some iranian words , names, and toponymus if not from the original Sarmatian Serbs mentioned by Pliny/Ptolemy as a tribe in Sarmatia?Like the name Urosh...compare it with Persian Kurosh (Cyrus).Or azhdaya (dragon)...comp. to Persian ezdeha.Or porsa (pig) in kurdish-in Serbian it's prase;raxna (hole) in Kurdish and raka in Serbian.

It's also  a well-known fact that Ucrainian and Russian are heavily influenced by Iranian...the most logical explanation is the Scythian/Sarmatian influence.In fact, the slavic Antes are clearly connected to the term Alan-since it was a union of sarmato-slavic tribes.

In regard to this polling I just have some questions:

1)Origin of scythians is a scientific matter and can not be determinded by polling, It is not important how majority think about it, what is important is that what scientists and linquistists have found about them.

2)your option can be divided in two category IE and Altaic.All the turkic members and maybe our mongolian friends vote for altaic and other members who may consider this polling interesting will vote for IE option.

3)Iranian is a wrong term here.Iran is a geographical name and being Iranian means those who have lived in Iran .This term can be applied to Azeris too, whose language is Turkish but without doubt they are Iranian. Correct term here is Iranic which has a linguistic meaning.

4)In the options Uralic one has been forgotten while in one hundred years ago there were some theories about presence of some  Uralic elements in scythians and actually it had much more scientific acceptance in those times than Altaic option nowadays.

Salam Hushyar!  Long time no see, hope everything is well with you! I completely agree, a poll is far too subjective to determine anythingof this nature, however, in Shaman's defense, he may have just been wishing to gain knowledge of people's opinion on the matter.

Turkoglu, Prsn and others, please do not continue that discussion in this thread.

I didn't say Alans are Avars. Well, I didn't know they settled in Kurdistan. Anyhow, Sythians are said to be similiar to Saramatians everywhere. By the way, Ashghabat is quite meaningful in Turkic; could you please explain your claim?
Now I'm not saying they were Altaic; let alone for Turkic. I'm just surprised by what Herudot says.

Socrates, my friend, the two-volumed book 'History of the USSR' I'll suggest to have a look at it. Almost ten great Russian university professors have written this book; quite acceptable everywhere. It has covered everything about Sythians, Saramatians, Avars,... .

And about those words like 'porsa', I should say, they're not exclusive to Iranian. You know, Iranian is just one branch of Indo-European languages. Serbs have lived in Europe. There are a lot of words common in Iranain and German (you might say wow)... especially old Iranian is very simillar and understandable when compared to other European language. But the thing is that I don't mean Sythians are Altaic.

My dear Husiyar,
   Hi there. Welcome back. How have you been? Thanks also for your kind post. Don't worry, 'sakht nemigiram'

   I need time to give the exact link, since I didn't gain the information online. Anyhow, I'm more eager to know how you're doing...

Ashk-abad, Ashgabat, Turkicised version, what does it mean in Turkomen? It literally means "home of Ashkanians" (Parthians).

its known by all hsitorians that these lands were, and are still inhabited by iranic peoples, and tajiks still make up the majority in many of the historic cities of uzbekistan, that used to be persian till russia took them.

Ok-porsa wasn't the most fortunate example......since the english word pork resembles it greatly.However-Urosh and Kurosh are far better examples-since the name is exlusive to serbia (as far as i know).Azhdaya and ezdeha are also very unique examples.

What i'm trying to say is  that iranian( scythian/sarmatian/alan) lang. had strong ifluence on slavic languages.So how were the sarmats/alans turkics then?Where did we aquire all this iranian words?I forgot the rivers Don and Dniester....unquestionably sarmatian terms...

I don't have that much time to read that book...so just tell us in short terms what do these proffesors say.
