Hi Torsten,
I'll come to the other question but first.

What are those obvious facts that say that the Getae spoke Thracian?
I thought that the only things we know about Thracian are place names
in Thracia where also other tribes like e g the Daci lived. And The
Goths if we are to believe Jordanes.
What kind of a language then is Thracian? IE or not? Hittite? Greek?
Germanic? Etruscan? Slavonic? What degrees of certainty are we
dealing with?

Best wishes
