Ancient and modern [[Iranian peoples]] mostly descend from the [[Proto-Indo-Iranians]], common ancestors respectively of the [[Proto-Iranian language|Proto-Iranians]] and [[Proto-Indo-Aryans]], this people possibly was the same of the [[Sintashta-Petrovka culture]]. Proto-Iranians separated from the Proto-[[Indo-Aryans]] early in the 2nd-millennium BCE. These peoples probably called themselves by the name “[[Aryans]]”, which was the basis for several ethnonyms of [[Iranian peoples|Iranian]] and [[Indo-Aryan peoples]] or for the entire group of peoples which shares kin and similar cultures.Mallory, J.P.; Douglas Q.
