Can anyone shed any light on which language family the Yuezhi belonged to? Whenever i sit down on the toilet i thumb through my copy of the Penguin Atlas of Ancient History for some light reading. The author suggests two possiblities for the Yuezhi language; Tocharian or Aryan. I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to which of these languages was likely the tongue of the Yuezhi?
Any information on the Tocharians or the Kushan Empire would likewise be appreciated. Thanks!
I think I will go and read my atlas now......
