Tocharian or Tokharian is considered one of the most obscure branches of the group of
Indo-European languages. The name of the language is taken from people known to the Greek historians (
Ptolemy VI, 11, 6) as the
Tocharians (, "Tokharoi"). These are sometimes identified with the
Yuezhi and the
Kushans, while the term Tokharistan usually refers to
1st millennium Bactria. A Turkic text refers to the Turfanian language (Tocharian A) as twqry. Interpretation is difficult, but F. W. K. Müller has associated this with the name of the Bactrian Tokharoi. In Tocharian, the language is referred to as arish-käna and the Tocharians as arya.
