Dismantling the Linguistic Aryan Myth
""Aryan" refers strictly to a linguistic group or a family of Indo-European languages."
Language is entirely irrelevant to Arya identity. The very text that coined the category "Aryan language" (aryavāc) explicitly states that a person speaking the language but standing outside the four-varna order is still a non-Aryan (Dasyu). The identity is strictly defined by varna membership, not vocabulary.

In Manusmrti 10.45—one of the foundational law-texts defining the traditional social order—Manu constructs a precise two-variable test examining both varna membership and language. He rules that anyone standing outside the four varnas is a Dasyu, regardless of whether they speak the Arya language or a Mleccha language. The text literally invents the linguistic category just to subordinate it to birth.
