Well, Wikipedia (ya, I know) suggests that AustroAsiatic languages and peoples are the descendants of the original peoples in the area before the advent of the Sino-Tibetan and Indo-European (and Dravidian!?). So, if they were basically swamped by invaders anyway (except for a few minor pockets, and Indo-China), would there be any difference at all?
 
I always thought the Autro-Asiatics were aboriginal to Southern China and Indo-China. I am not aware of any such peoples West of the Brahmaptura. As far as I can tell, the original inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent were a people of Australoid stock and unknown language. They were partly replaced/assimilated by Dravidian-speaking Caucasoid peoples entering through Baluchistan, and later the Aryans, who spoke Indo-Iranian entered the subcontinent from Afghanistan (the Aryans in turn can be traced to Neolithic era Anatolia).
