"Indo-Aryan" is a widely-used technical term for a particular branch of Indo-European (actually, a sub-branch of Indo-Iranian): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Aryan_languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Aryan_languages. We could call it "Indic" if that is your preference. [Racists usurping "Aryan" for a different meaning is not what I'm talking about here, in any shape or form. Edit to add: Yes, extending 'Aryan' to cover any larger entity than Indo-Iranian is not justified, but "Aryan" is not limited to Indic speakers:--- the Iranians certainly used a form of "Aryan" as well: thus derives the name of "Iran" itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_(word) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_(word) ] ]
