I am confused about the collation of Indo-Aryan ("ethnicity", for I lack a better term) and Indo European. The former a branch of a people who migrated from Western Asia/Easter Europe and the latter, a collection of languages that all evolved from a parent proto language. The Indo-Aryans spoke one of the (many) Indo European languages. To have had the sort of effect you are talking about the language that the Indo-Aryans spoke must be very close to the trunk of Indo European languages (which is not what most Linguists say) and they must have spread to more parts of the world than is accepted wisdom among historians.
