Data from archaeology, linguistics, population genetics, and from early Vedic texts, which deal with religion, mythology and rituals, have to be assembled and closely compared in order to gain a comprehensive picture of the early 'Aryans'. Such interdisciplinary dialogue is necessary in order to establish areas of overlap of data. This paper attempts to indicate a western Central Asian origin of the Indo-Aryan speakers, in the steppe belt near the Urals, from where they moved, via the Inner Asian Mountain belt and Bactria, into India. Their gradual migration entailed acculturation with previous populations, their languages and cultures.
为了全面了解早期的“雅利安人”，必须汇集考古学、语言学、群体遗传学以及涉及宗教、神话和仪式的早期吠陀文本的数据，并进行仔细比较。这种跨学科的对话对于确定数据的重叠领域是必要的。本文试图指出印度雅利安语使用者的起源是在乌拉尔山脉附近的中亚西部草原带，他们从那里通过内亚山脉和巴克特里亚进入印度。他们的逐渐迁徙带来了与先前人口、语言和文化的融合。
