Linguistics discussion (split from new factions thread)

[Cartaphilus]

In spanish wikipedia we can find this map.


I don't know if Villar is right or wrong about the lusitanian question, but I strongly recommend his job "Los indoeuropeos y los orígenes de Europa" (the indo-european and the origins of Europe).
If there's someone that speaks spanish here, this book is a "must".
It's edited by the prestigious Editorial Gredos.
I don't know if it is translated to other languages.
AWESOME BOOK.

This is how the first Germanic dialects evolved,eventually,these dialects reached certain places by the tribes' neverlasting migrations....

And talking about migration...

These migrations started the beginning of what we could now call 'european culture' though dna tests did not follow...as we can see,British people are more danish than anglo-saxon(the difference is still minimal though).
Remember that the Germanic tribes did not invade Rome because they were greedy but because they were pushed by the Huns invading from the east and kept aside by the roman 'limes'(wall).
It is then normal to see them 'burst' on all territories!
