Because iranian hydronyms are absent there. Very strange?
If 60% of Kazakhstan's hydronyms were Iranian and 40% Turkic - would it mean that there were no Turkic people in Kazakhstan?
I do not know why the Khotanese Iranian language is called Saka. The residents of Khotan called themselves "Khotanese", and called their language "Khotanese" - this is reflected in their writings. There are no Sakas in their writings. The Indian Saka probably spoke the language of the local people : one of the Indo-Aryan dialects.
