Etruscan Language: What languages sound similar to you?

[Percivalle]

the Hittite word for god(sius) is older than either of the two and similar.

Yes, it's a clear proto-IE root, in Italic is aisos, in Faroese ásur. We're talking about a really old word. In Indo-Iranian exists the word ásuras for demon.

40% of latin vocabulary was of etruscan origin, so it's not a language as strange as some of you may think.

Looking into the Liber Linteus is what started me down this path lol. I find it fascinating that Etruscans were in Egypt at one time. Clearly they were a prolific culture but you don't hear about them as often.

It all depends on the person's perspective of what old languages sound like or even if the accents are being properly pronounced. Old Saxon sound like a mish mash of Latin, norse and near east accents for example imo.

The mummy belongs to the Ptolemaic Kingdom, a Hellenistic kingdom. That text could have been brought to Egypt by Greeks or anyone else, not necessarily by Etruscans.

Tentatives of connecting etruscan to any existing language family have always failed.

It s not Semitic family language nor it s indieuropean nor it s caucasian


Some studious although it s not proved and many deny it say that the pronounce of etruscan has remained in our Tuscan accent, as we ate the only one in italy who have fricative intervocalic c, p and we pronounce the intervocalic t like the English and Greek th

There is a word of etruscan origin passed in all the romance languages and also many germanico and slavic languages:

The word is

Interesting theory but the Indo-European languages in Anatolia have come from outside in my opinion.

Tuscan gorgia is a more recent linguistic phenomenon, has nothing to do with Etruscans. In the past it was even associated with the Germanic Longobards, as if it were their legacy.

My dear there is a small reference to it in a Latin script of a Latin writer

Just one.. So there is a possibility that that pronounce is more ancient than the middle ages

I will search it and post it here
