BCE work by Vatsyayana on Vidya Samuddesa) which means 'Mleccha (Meluhha) cipher' and is listed as one of 64 arts taught to youth. The spoken form of the language of Vedic people was Mleccha (cognate Meluhha) and their writing system was mlecchita vikalpa (attested in a 6th cent. (See references of BB Lal, Saroj Bala & Kulbhushan Misra, Nicholas Kazanas contributions embedded). This trade in Soma (or, amśu ~~ ancu) might have occurred anytime after 7th millennium BCE, or 4th millennium BCE, the dates indicated for Rigveda, respectively, by astronomical/ archaeological or language evidence contained in the text. Musashi Tachikawa's Felicitation Volume, Delhi, Motilal Banarsidass, pp.3-24). (Staal, Frits, 2004, in: Three mountains and seven rivers in: Hino, Shoun and Toshihiro Wada, 2004, Three mountains and seven rivers: Prof. Frits Staal has indicated possible routes for such trade. The Samskritam expression túṣāra, 'frost, snow' is consistent with the Tushara ~~Tocharian cognates since Muztagh Ata is a high Himalayan mountain (24,758 ft.) cognate Mujavant was the mountain from which Soma was traded. The direction of borrowing amśu ~~ ancu is a matter to be studied further in historical linguistic studies, but is relatable to a date prior to 1900 BCE, the date of the Tarim mummies in Tushara (Tocharian). Amśu is a synonym for Soma (as Louis Renou noted that Rigveda is present in nuce, 'nutshell' in the themes related to Soma). Georges Pinault pointed to the concordance between Vedic and Tocharian: amśu ~~ ancu, 'iron' (Tocharian).

To attempt an answer to this question, with all humility, I add a footnote that scholars of historical linguists accept (pace FBJ Kuiper, MB Emeneau, Colin Masica, Southworth) that a language union (linguistic area) existed, called Indian sprachbund. This is a tribute to Frits Staal, Nicholas Kazanas, Georges Pinault, BB Lal, Saroj Bala & Kulbhushan Misra for their insightful researches which necessitate a fresh start for Vedic and IE studies together with delineation of Mleccha (Meluhha) of Indian sprachbund as the Proto-Indo-Aryan language Sarasvati-Sindhu civilization people spoke and wrote.
