Re: [tied] Lusitanians

Hey Miguel,
regarding your response:
1. Actually made a mistake, I meant to say that I thought that Ligurian,
not Lusitanian, is thought to be related to Auquitanian. Actually
weren't their two Ligurian languages, one Indo-European, and one
non-Indo-European?

2. Do we know if the Cynetes referred to by Herodotus as the most
Westerly people in Europe were a Lusitanian tribe, or who they were?

3. Is anything known about Tartessian/Turdetanian languages, and if
they're either a language isolate or have a possible relation to any
other languages?

4. I mentioned that Iberian and Basque were unrelated, I wasn't saying
they were related to each other. I've read before that some see a
possible relation to certain Caucasian languages (I thought it was
Kartvellian). I've even heard that some think some form of
non-Phoenician Semitic was spoken in Iberia, but I don't know what the
basis is for this.

Adeus,
Michael
