Scythians were not Iranian, but Iranic. Iranians simply refers to people from the modern country Iran. Iranic refers to peoples of a common source and their language family. The proto-Iranic people did not live in Iran but somewhere in central Asia. And also a lot of people from Iran (Iranians) are not Iranic. Like Kyrgyz people are not Turkish but Turkic. Same way Scythians were not Iranian but Iranic.
1) Were Persians and Scythians same people? If so, Why did Herodotus say: Scythians had 7 different languages, and No mentions about Persian language?! Check Herodotus, Histories, book 4.
2) i am still waiting for a response about the ancestors of Magyars, Slavs, Circassians, Chechens and others etc...
