 It is known from manuscripts dating from the 6th to the 8th century AD, which were found in oasis cities on the northern edge of the Tarim Basin (now part of Xinjiang in northwest China).
 The discovery of these languages in the early 20th century contradicted the formerly prevalent idea of an east–west division of Indo-European language family on the centum–satem isogloss, and contributed to re-invigorated study of the family.
 Identifying the authors with the "Tokharoi" people of ancient Bactria (Tokharistan), early authors called these languages "Tocharian".
 Although this identification is now generally considered mistaken, the name has stuck.
