I believe the Hungarian and Finnish languages, along with Gypsy dialects have Sanskrit as common relations.

Romany, the Indic language of the gypsies, shares its Indic affinity with Sanskrit. (Very roughly, Sanskrit is to Romany as Latin is to French.) Finnish and Hungarian are members of the non-IE Finno-Ugric language group, which has an affinity to Turk and other non-IE languages of Western Asia.
