Dardic.

I've been thinking of 'Dardic' as an areal term, much as one might use
'Caucasian'. I gather that English-speaking Pakistanis actually use
'Dardistan' as a geographical term.

I forget. Romani is considered Dardic, isn't it? I.e., an Indic
language originating from 'Dardistan'.

Indo-Iranian, that is neither Iranian nor Indo-Aryan.
