The Tocharians were the Tocharian-speaking inhabitants of the Tarim Basin, making them the easternmost speakers of Indo-European languages in antiquity. After wars against the northern Xiongnu, the Tocharians migrated out of the Tarim Basin, and the Indo-European language of the Tocharians became supplanted by the Turkic languages of the Xiongnu about 800 CE.
