Proto-Indo-European is a hypothetical language, it is not a race of people. It was spoken by a group of people in approximately 4000 BC, and we have no way of knowing what color they were. As the language spread widely over Europe and Asia it was spoken by more and more people. Race is not even a recognizable category in a scientific sense but the Indo-European languages are now spoken by the people of India (as Hindu and many other dialects of northern India), people of Afghanistan and Persian, people of Scandinavia and the rest of northern Europe and the whole of southern Europe.

Who were the first speakers of the Indo-European language?

The Indo-European language is thought to have been spoken by a group of nomadic people known as the Proto-Indo-Europeans. They lived around 4000-2500 BCE in the Eurasian Steppes, a vast grassland stretching from Eastern Europe to Central Asia. These early speakers of the Indo-European language eventually spread out and contributed to the linguistic and cultural diversity of many regions.
