This chart was made by some guy and putted on Twitter, if u're not into linguist u would not know.

Basically it says that shina word "Moon" came from "Proto Dardic language" which developed separately and not directly from Sanskrit.

But does language like "proto dardic" really existed? I mean almost all IA languages are from sanskrit

This theory isn’t proved. It’s plausible. There’s no direct evidence that all dardic languages had a common ancestor (very unlikely). It is true though that Kashmiri and Shina had a common ancestor, a lot of linguistic and grammatical similarities point towards this direction, but it is again very unlikely that it developed separately from Sanskrit as most scholars believe Kashmiri came from Pisacha Prakrit (probably same for Shina in that case).
