<h3>Which ethnic group outside of Australia and PNG are most related the Australian Aboriginals ?</h3>

I have heard that there might be some small thnic groups in India or Sri Lanka that are related to Australian Aboriginals, and that is pehaps where they originated from .
Vedda hunter gatherers in Sri Lanka were one people I believe.
Is this correct ?
What country/s and what peoples ? Are these people also called Australoids ? Are Tamils included ?
Thanks.
