They would have spoken a Iranian language not Iranian, ie English is a germanic language but its not german.
Don't think they would have been influence much by chinese as to the east of them were the Yeuzhi (who as Meinpanzer said might have spoken an Iranian language) and then the poweful Xionghu who might have spoken a Yeniseian, Turkic, or Iranian language.
The chinese were pretty much confined to china at that point and it would be a while before they reached what they called "the western regions" (central asia)
