Talk:Brahui people

message: This article begins saying "The Brahui are a Scythian-speaking sub-ethnic group of the Baloch". Later, under Origins, it says "The fact that other Dravidian languages only exist further south in India has led to several speculations about the origins of the Brahui." Then, under the heading Language, it says "The Brahui language is a Dravidian language". This article does not have any internal consistency.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.217.95.16 (talk) 00:24, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Make up your mind

message: Since when are Brahui considered Dravidian??? this is not factually correct and is often promoted by indians who want to associate themselves to all things foreign.  Brahui are an ethnic group inhabiting Balochistan and there exists no linguistic or genetic study to link the Brahui to the Dravidians in any form, yet this article seems to state it as fact!  Brahui are a clearly Iranic people who show no genetic association whatsoever with the Dravidian/indian gene pool at all.   Please correct this error and make this article more factual!

thread_title:  Brahui are NOT Dravidian lol 

message: I didn't name this article and maybe the name should be changed if it's meaning is unclear. It could be changed to "Brahui speakers" or something like that. It's not talking about a race or tribe but about those people who speak Brahui. I moved the "Comments by..." off the front page because the informal tone would get this article back into the wikify bin where it has been since the "Comments by . . ." was added the first time.

message: Genetically Dravidian speakers of India are different from Indo-Aryans as proved in David Frawley's work and recent genetic studies. However Brahui people are neither Indo-Aryan or related to Dravidian peoples of South India as they are ethnically same as the Balochis. Change ethnic Dravidians to ethnic Iranian people who speak a Dravidian language.
:David Frawley is a fringe writer, not a geneticist. Indeed his evidence comes from very obsolete literature on race. India is very genetically diverse. There are no clear distinctions between definable groups, for sure, but that does not have any relevance to the fact that Brahui are Dravidian. I's not a biological concept.

replies: text: The Brahui may have intertwined with Balochi people, but their language is undoubtedly Dravidian.  I can't see a reason anyone would think otherwise. --92.18.184.24 (talk) 14:25, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge from Brahui tribes

message: :I think the Brahuis did. And archeologically speaking - the Indus Valley Civilisation and nearby mountaineers and/or wanderers that were probably related to the IVC. Y-DNA speaking - haplogroups J2, and maybe also some L, H, R2, maybe a little R1a*. The Balochs probably assimilated some of these haplogroups, because haplogroup R1a1a makes only 50% among Baloch. 95.27.96.242 (talk) 02:54, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Brahui contains only 27% dravidian words in it. So how can you make it dravidian language. Japanese a far eastern language also had some similarity with dravidian you can't say that japanese are south indians.Brahui people have no genetical link with dravidian. The baloch and brahui people are genetically same people.           These concepts were established by British   to divide and rule the estates of balochistan Junaad1 (talk) 18:14, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

message: There seems to be some confusion in this article. Brahui speakers does not equate to being Dravidian. The language might be Dravidian origin, however, the people speaking it don't magically become Dravidian. By that logic, all English speakers around the world are English. There needs to be some major corrections done in this article. --PAKHIGHWAY (talk) 16:45, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think there's any other than linguistic reality to the term "Dravidian". "Dravidian people" is simply a shortcut for "people who speak a Dravidian language". – Uanfala (talk) 18:37, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

text: R1a1-L645 and recent European ancestry should not prove that they are assimilated Indo-Europeans. The Burusho have a lot of that as well, but are they? We know that the Dravidian and Burusho languages also arrived quite recently from somewhere from north-west. That place could have been Eastern Europe and quite recently. There is a view (maybe not the majoritarian at the moment) that modern Indo-European came from Western Europe. In that case it could not have been R1a and overwhelmingly Western Steppe Herders ancestry (which are overwhelming only on British Isles, but not France or Spain), instead they should have had an almost equal share of Early European Farmers. And of course no relation to Fatyanovo culture, Andronovo culture, BMAC, Painted Grey Ware culture and other so early cultures. Even if Indo-European had nothing to do with Western Europe, Eastern Europe could still have housed all of those language families. Finnic-speakers also have a lot of R1a1-L645 and they usually seem to be more recent migrations than N-L729, which could possibly point that Finnic languages were brought by R1a1-L645 to non-Finnic N-L729 populations. The "second urbanization" in India from the 6th century BC could maybe point to the arrival of Indo-European languages. We don't have any texts before the 3rd century BC. India still has its' native language - Kusunda. --95.24.71.165 (talk) 22:21, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
