- The Inner–Outer hypothesis of the subclassification of the Indo-Aryan language family argues for a division of the family into two groups, an Inner core (focused on the Madhyadeśa in the Indo-Gangetic plain) and an Outer periphery, evidenced by shared traits of the languages falling into one of the two groups. Proponents of the theory generally believe the distinction to be the result of gradual migrations of Indo-Aryan speakers into India, with the inner languages representing a second wave of migration speaking a different dialect of Old Indo-Aryan, overtaking the first-wave speakers in the center and relegating them to the outer region. The Inner–Outer hypothesis has taken many forms in its various iterations since it was proposed by Rudolf Hoernlé in 1880. Some of its notable proponents include George Abraham Grierson (who organised the Linguistic Survey of India), Franklin Southworth, and Claus Peter Zoller. It has faced a robust opposition, with scholars such as Suniti Kumar Chatterji and Colin P. Masica opposing the theory, and an alternative East–West theory of the top-level subclassification of Indo-Aryan proposed by . Recent work by and Peterson has sought to tackle the hypothesis with statistical methods; the hypothesis continues to be a contentious proposal with no clear consensus among scholars of Indo-Aryan.
