Some language questions that may or may not be related to the game...

Hello there,

May I ask where I can find an online Poenican or Greek dictionary? Or better, Ancient German/Gallic? Since I was trying to invent some... fun units to be used in a novel or a RP, EB style. Such as one I've thought up earlier, "Hysteroi Nihonnoi Katanaphoroi" (Reformed Japanese Katana swordsmen) or "Hanatim Nihibim" (Japanese Ashigaru) :help: :juggle2:

Thanks for your help for this seemingly insane question.

Well, the Greeks didn't know Japan and certainly didn't refer to it in their own language. They knew China as "Sinus" however.

I realy doubt there are any phoenican and Ancient Germanic/Gallic dictionaries on the internet. Could be though

There are various proto-Germanic dictionaries on the web, a quick search of google will turn up a few.

Here are some useful resources:

Roman and Greek Military Glossary

Gaulish Glossary

Comprehensive Etruscan Glossary

Oscan Glossary

Umbrian Glossary

Punic Dictionary

Proto-Germanic does not fit accurately into the EB timeline, it's really only applicable to 50 CE and onwards.
