Understanding Avestan
Iran has J2 mostly and its R1A1 is on its eastern borders
The Mittani on the west side of Iran had pure sanskrit 1500 BC
This sort of implies that the Iranians got their 'Aryan' languages from Balkh and Afghanistan and do not really much common ancestry with north India
And Avestan is probably very recent, more like 1000BC
