The place where "Paris" or "Barcelona" varieties are spoken is
the homeland for Latin. These places would have provided the
necessary masses of people to generate the dialect continuum.
Indo-Iranian territory would have done that for PIE dialects. Since we
know that Avesthan is later than Rg Vedic Sanskrit, that means India.

So this is where you were going.

Absurdly trying to ""prove"" Paris or whatever place in France is the "homeland" of LAtin

in order to ""prove"" that India is the homeland of PIE.

You are wrong to believe both statements.
