aAconcept in European culture that was influential in the period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It derives from the idea that the original speakers of the Indo-European languages and their descendents up to the present day constitute a distinctive race. In its best-known incarnation, under Nazism, it was argued that the earliest Aryans were identical to Nordic people. Belief in the superiority of the "Aryan race" is sometimes referred to as Aryanism.
In today's English, "Aryan", if used at all, is normally synonymous to Indo-Iranian, or Proto-Indo-Iranian. The idea that the north Europeans were the "purest" of these people was later theorized by the Comte de Gobineau and by other writers, most notably his disciple Houston Stewart Chamberlain, who wrote of an "Aryan race"—those who spoke Indo-European languages and were claimed to be the "noblest" of people.
During the 19th century, it was commonly believed that the Aryan race originated in the southwestern steppes of present-day Russia, and including the Caucasus Mountains. The Steppe theory of Aryan origins was not the only one circulating during the nineteenth century, however. Many British, American and German scholars argued that the Aryans originated in ancient Germany or Scandinavia, or at least that in those countries the original Aryan ethnicity had been preserved. The German origin of the Aryans was especially promoted by the archaeologist Gustaf Kossinna, who claimed that the Proto-Indo-European peoples were identical to the Corded ware culture of Neolithic Germany. This idea was widely circulated in both intellectual and popular culture by the early twentieth century.

is a drink made of yoghurt and water, popular in Turkey, Armenia, Bulgaria, and other parts of the Balkans, the Middle East, and Central Asia.
Ayran is a mixture of yoghurt, water, and salt. It is thought to have originated as a way of preserving yogurt by adding salt.
It is often made with cucumber juice in place of some or all of the water, or flavored with garlic. Sometimes it is also seasoned with black pepper: this is uncommon in Bulgaria, where ayran is also often served without salt. Another recipe popular in some regions includes finely chopped mint leaves mixed into the ayran.
Ayran is served cool, and is a common accompaniment to döner, kebab, banitsa, or pastry. Some forms of fresh ayran include foam.
Ayran is so popular in Turkey that it is often regarded as a market separate to that for the juice and soda industries.It is a challenge for "modern" soft-drink companies such as Coca-Cola. International fast-food companies such as McDonald's include ayran in their standard menu as a local menu addition. In Azerbaijan, Syria, and Lebanon, it is available in all restaurants and fast-food shops. Outside Turkey and Bulgaria, it may be found at döner kebab outlets.
In rural areas of Turkey, ayran is offered as a "standard" drink to welcome guests.
A drink similar to ayran is sold throughout California under its Armenian name - Tahn - in middle-eastern markets and Armenian fast-food chains such as Zankou Chicken.

Ayran is a Turkish drink which is made with yoghurt and we add salt a little bit and it tastes good. Yoghurt is a dairy product made from milk . You should try YAYIK AYRANI if you come to Turkey . It does not include alcohol . And tastes really good.
