Well the language spoken by the Carths would have been of the Canaanite branch of Semitic languages of which Hebrew is a part. I figured it would a lot easier to find someone who could speak Hebrew than someone could be speak say Punic (which as far as I know was pretty much finished as a language by the end of the 5th or 6th century A.D.) and it would probably be just as accurate as any thing that could be scraped together from ancient sources.
I don't really have any background I'm just a 1st year History student at McGill (I'm not even doing ancient history I'm doing English speaking peoples) I just happen to be something of a history nerd.
