A language spoken mainly in central Italy from the 8th century BCE to the 4th century CE, also known as Etruscan. The speakers were the Etruscans, who had taken control of Rome in the 6th century BCE. They absorbed Greek culture and created a script similar to Greek. Currently, over 10,000 inscriptions remain from the 7th century BCE to the time of Augustus, but they have not yet been fully deciphered. Its genealogy is also unknown, but the theory that it originated in Asia Minor (by V. Georgiev of Bulgaria and others) is relatively strong, since inscriptions excavated on the island of Lemnos near Asia Minor are close to Etruscan and it has some commonalities with the Lydian language of Asia Minor. Italian scholars support the theory of indigenous origin. Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia About Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Information |
前8世紀頃から4世紀までイタリア中部を中心として話されていた言語で,エトルスク語ともいう。話し手は,前6世紀頃にはローマ市をも支配下においたエトルリア人たちで,ギリシア文化を吸収し,ギリシア文字に似た文字をつくりだした。現在,前7世紀からアウグスツスの時代までの碑文が1万以上残っているが,いまだに完全には解読されていない。系統関係も未詳であるが,小アジアに近いリムノス島から出土した碑文がエトルリア語に近いこと,小アジアのリュディア語と多少共通点があることから,小アジアに起源を求めようとする説 (ブルガリアの V.ゲオルギエフら) が比較的有力である。イタリアの学者は土着起源説をとる。
