I've looked around on the web, and there's barely any accurate linguistic charts detailing development of the languages in the Indo-Aryan Branch. So using the knowledge of the language family and its development structure, I tried to make a detailed chart to the best of my ability (though it is a bit simplistic since the developing structure of most of these languages are complex, and are inter-transitional between each other). I also included a lot of the extinct languages like Mittani that was spoken in the Levant, as well the Gandhari Prakrit of Western Punjab/Frontier which also has no modern equivalent.
Modern Span of the Indo-Aryan languagesThe Indo-Aryan or Indic languages are the dominant language family of the Indian subcontinent, spoken largely by Indo-Aryan people. They constitute a branch of the Indo-Iranian languages, itself a branch of the Indo-European language family. Indo-Aryan speakers form about one half of all Indo-European speakers (about 1.5 of 3 billion), and more than half of all Indo-European languages recognized by Ethnologue. While the languages are primarily spoken in South Asia, pockets of Indo-Aryan languages are found to be spoken in Europe and the Middle East.
The Chart I contructed:
