(106,263 posts)which rather seems to go against your personal hypothesis, doesn't it? And why should Scythians meeting Mongols in the Altai mountains only 2,500 years ago cause a Turkic word to turn up in all the Germanic languages a few thousand miles to the west? Or why would it even indicate that 'khan' comes from a still unidentified Sanskrit word? Scythians weren't Germanic; they weren't Indian. They're typically held to be associated with the Iranians (and that's where the language chart you accept puts them).
Calling the Scythians "some of the first Indo-Europeans" is ridiculous. The chart doesn't claim that; indeed, it shows only four languages coming from Scythian - of which only 1 is still alive - Ossetian. The Scythians seem to be a complete red herring. Your claim is that 'king' can be traced back from Germanic languages to the Turkic 'khan', and from there to Sanskrit - but you have not yet divulged the Sankrit word. So far, you've shown no evidence, just said "because Scythians".
