Answer:

The Indo - Iranian language belongs to the Indo - European language group. That language having been spoken for centuries gradually changed to take the form of different languages of the Indian subcontinent. Many local words have been absorbed. Sanskrit is one such language. At present there are no remaining traces of the original Indo - European language. The influence of Indo - Iranian language is noticeable in the Rigveda and Zend - Avesta.
