<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->some indian languages have nothing in commen with parsi/farsi/avestan.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Parsi (or Farsi as it is now called) is derived from ancient Avestan, though today's Farsi might have some Arabic influences.
All the Indian languages that are grouped as Indo-Aryan are basically derived from Samskrit. And Samskrit is clearly related to Avestan. Therefore whether present-day Bengali or Hindi sounds like present-day Farsi or not, they all belong in the Indo-Iranian group together.
Thus if a classification did group Iranian and Indo-Aryan languages together with Greek and Armenian - it would appear to include all the Indo-Iranian languages (all Iranian + all Indo-Aryan).
