Western Iranian languages Puns

When and why did Turkic languages supplant Iranian languages in Western Siberia and Central Asia? Did they have military advantages of some other advantages that the Iranians didn't have? Both drank milk, but the Turkic tribes drank khumis (horse milk, which the Iranians may not have drank). The Turks may have had different horses which excelled in the cold. I don't know.

I don't know if the rest of the languages besides Indo-Iranian have a specific name to classify them, that's why I wrote "western".

Hi, I am wondering if anyone here has learned both an Eastern and Western Iranian language and how long it took you to get comfortable at reading in the 2nd one.

As an explanation, I am playing with the idea of studying Sogdian or Khotanese (I am a archaeology student interested in the history of the Silk Road and eastern central Asia). However, I know myself too well and if I hop straight into a dead language I will most likely get bored and stop, so the plan is to learn a living Iranian language first.

The choice now is between Pashto -> Sogdian or Kurmanji -> Sogdian. Pashto makes more sense at first sight but I am living in Germany and there are a lot of Kurdish immigrants here which made me consider Kurmanji.

Here's a basic overview of my understanding.

Since the corded ware language must have been neither centum nor satem, post-corded ware descendant languages must have innovated it independently from both Greek, and Tocharian.

Is that logic right?

I'd be thankful if u people answer me.

I just thought about it, and I think it's because it has two adjectives (?). It feels like an incomplete sentence.

"This object is extremely dangerously".

"Extremely dangerously WHAT?"

It doesn't apply to say, the Western Bulldogs in the AFL, because that name resolves with a noun.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

EDIT: I also appreciate the fact that there's a typo in my title. Muphry's Law in action.
