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.

As the region inhabited by Parthians, Parthia first appears as a political entity in Achaemenid lists of governorates ("satrapies") under their dominion. Prior to this, the people of the region seem to have been subjects of the Medes,[1] and 7th century BC Assyrian texts mention a country named Partakka or Partukka (though this "need not have coincided topographically with the later Parthia").[2]

The Medes simply Aryanised those non-Aryan Dahae Scythian tribes.
