Parthians spoke a West Iranian dialect evolved from the Northwest Iranian language of the Medes. But Parthians themselves were the Medes mixed with non-Aryan Dahae Scythians.

The Medes/Gutians as proto-Kurds or even proto-(West)-Iranians came from a similar population as an ancient Indo-European Kura-Araxes culture (Y-DNA hg. L, T, J2a, R2a, R1b). The Medes migrated later to the east. Zarathustra who was an outcast from the Median Magi tribe went also to the east.
Pretty cool results. Higher North European than in modern Iran (and f_ck those users who hate and attack me for pointing that out! :swl)Quote:

Also another proof for admixture flow from East to West, rather than the other way around (like MS85) claims.Quote:
