48. Harmatta (1994b: 488) states, “Their royal tribes and kings (shan-yü) bore Iranian names and all the Hsiung-nu words noted by the Chinese can be explained from an Iranian language of Saka type. It is therefore clear that the majority of Hsiung-nu tribes spoke an Eastern Iranian language.” Bailey (1985: 21–45) also proposes an Iranic origin. However, neither gives any data to support their claims. See Beckwith (2018), which the present book partly updates.
