Read this thread. Dr Elizabeth Barber, in her book, The Mummies Of Urumchi,connect these folks to the Celts of Hallstadt, Austria.
Professor Victor Mair, in his book, The Tarim Mummies, Believes these people spoke Tocharian (an Indo-European language) and is closest related to an ancient form of Celtic languages.
