Indo-Aryans are a diverse bunch of Indo-European peoples who speak Indo-Aryan languages in India. Indo-Aryans were Indo-European nomadic people who travelled from Central Asia to South Asia and brought the Proto-Indo-Aryan language with them. The Indo-Aryans have been united by common cultural social rules and language, and they were referred to as arya 'noble.' The Indo-Aryan culture has evolved over the last four millennia, particularly within India itself, but its roots are in the juxtaposition of virtues and culture of the Indo-Aryans and indigenous people communities of India. Patron-client systems facilitated the spread of this culture and language.
