Tocharian A  = is a philological euphemism for Turfanian, Arsi, or East Tocharian; no relation to Tochars or Tokhars, Yuezhi, Bactrian, or Tokharistan
Tokharian B = is a philological euphemism for Kuchea or West Tochariann; no relation to Tochars or Tokhars, Yuezhi, Bactrian, or Tokharistan
Saka = aka Khotan-Saka, ака Tumshuqese, Gya-jdese (fr. Tumxuk, aka Jushide, Gustig), is a philological euphemism for Indian language in Saka possessions in India, so is called the Khotan language that is essentially the same language used on inscriptions and coins of Saka rulers in India. If Saka were ruling China, the Saka language would have been attributed to Chinese languages, in Armenia their language would have been called Armenian (in Sistan/Sizgam/Sakastan); no demonstrable relation to the language of Saka nomads exists

The euphemisms were invented in great drive for locating Indo-European Urheimat, to tie Indo-European languages to known horse nomadic conqueror tribes, and are recognized misnomers.

The table in the appendix 5 lists languages used in sedentary environment, the languages of the constituent or neighboring pastoralists are nor addressed.
