Guys i think "Yuezhi" and "Tocharian" should go into another thread.I dont know anything about them anyway but their not related to the Shela topic.

"Yuezhi" was ancient Chinese pronunciation, and it was called "Yüeh-chin" by foreigners. The Yuezhi nation lived originally in the west area of modern-days Gansu Province of China. It was defeated utterly by the Hun nation, and its main tribes had to migrate westwards and located in the Middle Asia. These tribes were called "Dayuezhi"(Great Yüeh-chin). A few tribes which didn't migrate to the Middle Asia were called "Xiaoyuezhi"(Small Yüeh-chin).
