Consensus is not, however, the hallmark of all responses. According to Italian linguist and professor emeritus Mario Alinei:
The "Andronovo [and] the whole cultural sequence that precedes it, from Srednyi Stog to the Pit Grave, Catacomb Grave, and Timber Grave cultures [...], can only be seen as expressions of an already developed Turkic branch of the Altaic population, originating in Central Asia in Paleolithic times."On 7th of December 2009 a scientific announcement has been put forward by Mario Alinei in which he speaks of an "overwhelming linguistic evidence.. of exclusively Turkic loanwords related to horse terminology" in Uralic and all Indo-European languages of eastern Europe that can be seen as an indication that horse domestication is a fundamental Turkic innovation and cannot be associated with the spread of Indo-European languagesThe German Indology professor Hermann Berger, who is known for his Burushaski studies, found striking etymological matches between Turkic (Altaic) and Sanskrit horse words.[20] Berger conludes, that the numerous Turkic borrowings in the Dard dialects of the Indo-Aryan family (e.g. Kalasha, Nuristani) show that cultural traffic with the Turkic north was lively at all times.
Skt. kulāha = Turk. qula 'brown, grey', colours of the body parts of a horse
Skt. kokāha = Turk. kök 'roan, pale, yellowish grey', colour of a horse
Skt. khońgāha/khuńgāha = Turk. qońɣur 'red/black', colour of a horse
Skt. serāha = Turk. sarï, sarïɣ 'pale, blonde, yellow', colour of a horse mane
Skt. halāha = Turk. ala, hilā, alağa 'colorful' (of a horse)
Skt. vollāha = Turk. būrul, pūrul 'with mixed hair' (of a horse), compare Tatar burlï 'mousecoloured' and burlu 'grey (horse)'. Skt. vollāha may have resulted from an assimilation of proto-Turkic *borlāha
Skt. urāha = Turk. örüg 'white, bright (horse)'
Skt. triyūha = Turk. toru��, torī�� 'chestnut, redbrown (horse)' > Burushaski turūɣ
Skt. surūhaka = Turk. sur 'donkeycoloured horse, grey (of a horse)' < *suru, directly preserved in Kyrgyz suručaq 'grey sparrow' and Tatar sørø 'grey'
Thus, the Italian linguist V. Pisani (1974, p.14)[21] assumed that "Protosanskrit was the language of a ruling class composed of Turkic-speaking riders of the southern Russian steppes and priests of Caucasian origin." The same view is shared by the German linguist K. H. Schmidt (1980, p.94).[
