A silly template I created, that has survived two deletion attempts so far; glad to see it's getting some use now -- though I'd probably rate only a 2 meself...!
I've worked on lots of articles, I will list only a few here:

Scythians c. 100 BC. The Parthians were also a branch of the Scythians.
NOTES:
Cimmerian (Gamir) or Scythian (Ashkuz) origins have been claimed for numerous modern peoples of Europe and Asia, from Ireland to Cambodia:
Irish / Scottish: tradition of Gaelic speech / ogam writing being invented by Fenius Farsa in "Scythia" a few years after the Tower fell. Name 'Scot' said to derive from 'Scythians' who migrated via Spain. Picts said to have been a branch of the Agathyrsi Scythians.
Welsh: traditionally descended from Gomer (Cymru), father of Ashkenaz (this name itself being a probable Heb. misreading of orig. name "Ashkuz".)
French: Franks' king-line traced through the Sicambri to the Cimmerians
Teutonic peoples: traditions of certain foundational Germanic groups (besides the Franks) to Scythia, notably the Saxons (< Sacae?) and Cimbri (< Cimmerians?). Saxons, in A-S Chronicle, said to have returned to 'Scythia' (mainland) for reinforcements when invading Britain. Original homeland of English - 'Angul' or 'Ongul' (a place in Denmark) ("the Oghgul race" in Nennius). Coincidentally, 'Ongul' sounds like the name of numerous other peoples of likely Scythian descent - stretching east even to Korea.
Hungarians: name 'Hungary' thought to drive from 'Onogurs'. Traditions speak of descent from Scythians, as well as Magor and Hunor; some old chronicles indicate these two are sons of Japheth (Magor = Magog; Hunor possibly 'Gomer'?).
Serbs / Croats: assimilated Slavs, but descendants of the Alans, who came from the Massagetae and Sarmatians, who were apparently a hybrid of Scythians. Poles also have some traditions of Sarmatian origin.
Bulgarians / Macedonians: assimilated Slavs, but ancestors were latest wave of Turkic peoples to settle in Europe from the steppes.
Turkic peoples: Nearly all branches are 'Oghuz'; likely connection to 'Ashkuza' or 'Ishguz' - Assyrian names for Scyths. Other branches include Kazakhs (Saks) and the Siberian people still known as Sakha (the Yakuts).
The clan of Kambojas were also apparently of Scytho-Iranian origin, and migrated across South Asia, giving their one of their names, Ashvana, to Afghans and even as far away as the royal line of Cambodia.
