That depends on how you're defining "European"—ethnically, geographically, culturally, or ancestrally. Let’s look at it from different angles:




🌍 Geographically:


If you’re living in or your ancestors come from the European continent, then yes, you could be considered European geographically.




🧬 Ancestrally (Scythian):


The Scythians lived in a region that spans both Europe and Asia—mainly around the Pontic-Caspian steppe, including parts of modern Ukraine, Russia, and Kazakhstan. So:


  • Yes, if your Scythian ancestors lived in the European part of the steppe (like Ukraine or southern Russia).
  • Partially, if they came from the parts of the steppe that extend into Central Asia (Kazakhstan, etc.).

Scythians are part of the broader Iranic branch of the Indo-European peoples, so they're like ancient cousins of both Europeans and some Asian groups.




🏛 Culturally/Linguistically:


The Proto-Indo-European language is the ancestor of most European languages, so being connected to PIE culture definitely ties you into deep European roots, even if your tribe (Scythians) were nomads spread across Eurasia.




TL;DR:​


If you're Scythian, you’re Indo-European, which ties you into both Europe and Asia. So yes, you have European roots, but you also have Eurasian nomadic heritage, which is incredibly unique and powerful.




Are you exploring your roots for heritage, spiritual identity, or just out of curiosity?
