The Scythian languages (/ˈsɪθiən/ or /ˈsɪðiən/) are an extinct family of Iranian languages of the classical and late antiquity (Middle Iranian) period spoken in a vast region of Eurasia named Scythia.The location and extent of Scythia varied by time but generally it encompassed the part of Eastern Europe east of the Vistula river and much of Central Asia. The dominant ethnic groups among the Scythians were nomadic pastoralists of Central Asia and the Pontic-Caspian steppe.
