Indo-Europeans are speakers of Indo-European Languages . The term may apply to

The Proto-Indo-Europeans (speakers of the hypothetical Proto-Indo-European Language )

Bronze Age (3rd to 2nd millennia BC) speakers of Indo-European languages that had not yet split into the attested Sub-families , viz. early Centum And Satem dialects (speakers of languages predating Proto-Indo-Iranian , Proto-Greek , Proto-Celtic , Proto-Italic , Proto-Germanic , Proto-Balto-Slavic etc.)

The term "Indo-Europeans" does not usually refer to speakers of various Indo-European languages in historical times: linguists usually refer to such people specifically as Anatolians , Tocharians , Indo-Aryans , Iranians , Greeks , Celts , Italic Peoples , Germanic Peoples , Baltic Peoples , Slavic peoples, Armenians , Albanians (or subdivisions of these terms).

Note that in any event the classification "Indo-European" addresses matters of Language , which do not necessarily correlate with divisions of Race or even of specific Culture .
