Linguistic Iranization of Europe in early Middle Ages instead Slavicization

[Chrzęścimir]

Some hypotheses talking about Iranian origins of the Slavs, as descendants of absorbed Scytho-Sarmatian tribes. Suppose in this topic, that it might be true. The Iranians had were amalgamated with the local tribes in a South-Balto-Slavic linguistic periphery and taking one of their dialects, influencing on it by own language. However, it is commonly believed that the Iranian nomadic peoples had a some higher level of cultural traditions than the Balto-Slavs. This raises the idea that the stronger culture did not provide of their language to their offspring, but adopted the language from the weaker side.
What would be a reverse process, when stronger side give an Iranic language, perhaps similar to Alanian or another Northern Iranic ?

Too late. If you really want an influence of sarmatians youd have to go back at least a couple centuries earlier and have it so that the slavs never migraterather they get halted by the sarmatians who ake their place. If that is the case then you can have your pod. But once the Slavic migration starts.... yeah it needs to be before it with a stronger more cohesive samartia.

Pretty much what Frederick Barbarossa said. Although you could have pockets of Iranian speakers survive, especially in the Balkans.

The Jassic people of Hungary were originally Iranian speaking, but were assimilated to the Hungarians (They came from a later migration of Alans during the Mongol conquest, but some of pointed out the similarity of the name to the Iazyges, an Iranian tribe that lived in the area in Roman times)

My inspiration for foundation of this topic is an ancient myth about origin of the Slavs from the ancient Sarmatian tribes, what formed a main basis of Polish nobility culture in the Middle Ages until period of the partitions. On webpages are many purported evidence of a "correctness" of this myth, for example, a results of genetic tests, which supposedly shows that very many modern Slavs are the modern descendants of some Iranian peoples (mentioned here Aorsi, Antes, Roxolani and Syraces). Indicated are also many borrowings from Iranian languages, including lexicon on sphere of religion (eg, the Proto-Slavic word *bogъ 'God' from Iranic *bhaga-). It is possible that some Iranian tribes were assimilated by Slavs just before their expansion into areas of Central and Eastern Europe, perhaps this was due to the expansion of Huns, which caused the Great Migration.
