  • Indo-European Languages and Branches
    Indo-European languages and branches Language Relations One of the first hurdles anyone encounters in studying a foreign language is learning a new vocabulary. Faced with a list of words in a foreign language, we instinctively scan it to see how many of the words may be like those of our own language.We can provide a practical example by surveying a list of very common words in English and their equivalents in Dutch, Czech, and Spanish. A glance at the table suggests that some words are more similar to their English counterparts than others and that for an English speaker the easiest or at least most similar vocabulary will certainly be that of Dutch. The similarities here are so great that with the exception of the words for ‘dog’ (Dutch hond which compares easily with English ‘hound’) and ‘pig’ (where Dutch zwijn is the equivalent of English ‘swine’), there would be a nearly irresistible temptation for an English speaker to see Dutch as a bizarrely misspelled variety of English (a Dutch reader will no doubt choose to reverse the insult). When our myopic English speaker turns to the list of Czech words, he discovers to his pleasant surprise that he knows more Czech than he thought. The Czech words bratr, sestra,and syn are near hits of their English equivalents. Finally, he might be struck at how different the vocabulary of Spanish is (except for madre) although a few useful correspondences could be devised from the list, e.g. English pork and Spanish puerco. The exercise that we have just performed must have occurred millions of times in European history as people encountered their neighbours’ languages.

  • Celtic in Northern Italy: Lepontic and Cisalpine Gaulish
    David Stifter Old Celtic Languages Spring 2012 II. CELTIC IN NORTHERN ITALY: LEPONTIC AND CISALPINE GAULISH 1. GENERAL INFORMATION Ill. 1.1.: Distribution of Lepontic () and Cisalpine Ill. 1.2.: Places with finds from the Golasecca culture (from: DE Gaulish (.) inscriptions (from: RIG II.1, 5; outdated) MARINIS 1991: 93). From Northern Italy, from the Northern Italian lake region and from a wider area north of the River Po, stem appr. 350 objects bearing slightly more Celtic inscriptions. These texts are usually ascribed to two different languages, Lepontic and Cisalpine Gaulish, but there are divergent opinions. For some, all inscriptions belong to a single language with only dialectal/chronological differences. Lepontic is considered by some to be only a dialect or chronologically early variant of Gaulish. Here, the main- stream view is followed which distinguishes between two different, albeit (closely?) related languages. Since almost all texts are extremely short and since the languages are so similar, it is often impossible to make a certain ascription of a given text to a language. As a rule of thumb, those inscriptions found in the Alpine valleys within a radius of 50 km around the Swiss town of Lugano are usually consid- ered Lepontic. Celtic inscriptions from outside this area are considered Cisalpine Gaulish. The Lepontians are one of many peoples who in the first millenium B.C. inhabited the valleys of the Southern Alps. The Valle Leventina in Cn. Ticino/Tessin (Switzerland) still bears their name. Lepontic inscriptions date from the period of ca. the beginning of the 6th c. B.C.

  • 1 the Celts and Their Languages
    1 The Celts and their languages The Celts: an overall name for a large group of Indo-European tribes that populated western, central and eastern Europe throughout the Iron and Medieval ages and spoke Celtic languages. They can be identified with a particular archeological Hallstatt culture (8. – 5. cent. B. C) (The area between Danube, Rhine and Rhône). During the La Tène culture era, 5.-1. cent. BC, the Celtic tribes spread into the eastern Europe as well as into the Balkans and Asia Minor. In the 1. cent. BC, the areas inhabited by the Celtic tribes were considerably diminished due to the Roman colonization and the raids of Germanic tribes. At the end of the “great European migration period” (6. cent. AD), the Celts were pushed all the way to the British Isles, where the Celtic languages survived until the present day. The oldest roots of the Celtic languages can be traced back into the first half of the 2. millennium BC. This rich ethnic group was probably created by a few pre-existing cultures merging together. The Celts shared a common language, culture and beliefs, but they never created a unified state. The first time the Celts were mentioned in the classical Greek text was in the 6th cent. BC, in the text called Ora maritima written by Hecateo of Mileto (c. 550 BC – c. 476 BC). He placed the main Celtic settlements into the area of the spring of the river Danube and further west. The ethnic name Kelto… (Herodotus), Kšltai (Strabo), Celtae (Caesar), KeltŇj (Callimachus), is usually etymologically explainedwith the ie.

Lorrio, Universidad de Alicante Gonzalo Ruiz Zapatero, Universidad Complutense de Madrid Abstract A general overview of the study of the Celts in the Iberian Peninsula is offered from a critical perspective. First, we present a brief history of research and the state of research on ancient written sources, linguistics, epigraphy and archaeological data. Second, we present a different hypothesis for the "Celtic" genesis in Iberia by applying a multidisciplinary approach to the topic. Finally, on the one hand an analysis of the main archaeological groups (Celtiberian, Vetton, Vaccean, the Castro Culture of the northwest, Asturian-Cantabrian and Celtic of the southwest) is presented, while on the other hand we propose a new vision of the Celts in Iberia, rethinking the meaning of "Celtic" from a European perspective.

  • Dr. David Stifter Old Celtic Languages Sommersemester 2008
    Dr. David Stifter Old Celtic Languages Sommersemester 2008 IV. GAULISH 1. GENERAL INFORMATION Gaulish is that Old Celtic language about which we are best informed – still it cannot be called a well-attested language. Gaulish in the strict sense is the Old Celtic language that was spoken in the area of modern France, ancient Gaul. An exception is Aquitain (= South-West France) where a separ- ate language called Aquitanian (sometimes also called ‘Sorothaptic’), an early relative of Basque, is attested. In a wider sense all those Old Celtic parts of the European Continent may be said to belong to the Gaulish language area which do not belong to the Celtiberian or Lepontic language areas. This takes in a far stretch of lands from Gaul across Central Europe (Switzerland, South Germany, Boh- emia, Austria), partly across Pannonia and the Balkans until Asia Minor (Galatia). Old British is usually included as well, and for some scholars Lepontic is only an archaic dialect of Gaulish. The linguistic remains of these areas, mainly placenames and personal names, very rarely non-onomastic material, do not exhibit differences from Gaulish beyond the trivial (e.g. Galat. PN ∆ειóταρος/Deio- tarus = Gaul. *Dēotaros ‘bull of heaven’; , for which there was no letter in the classical Greek script, is either not written or has disappeared in front of o). Thus it seems appropriate to use the term ‘Gaulish’ in this broad sense. On the other hand, it should come as no surprise if new finds of texts outside of Gaul would reveal more decisive linguistics differences from Gaulish in the narrow sense, going beyond the mere ‘dialectal’.
