Agnean was the eastern member of the Tocharian branch of Indo-European languages. Unlike its sister language Kuchean, it is found only in the eastern part of the Tocharian-speaking area, and all extant texts are of a religious nature. It has been suggested that Tocharian A was a liturgical language, no longer spoken natively, while Tocharian B was the spoken language of the entire area.^[3]
