    Semitic is a very different language family than Indo-European. Semitic is actually a part of the Afro-Asiatic family, including Cushitic and Berber tongues as well as Semitic.

    Hungarian and Finnish are both Finno-Ugric languages, along with Estonian and some tongues spoken in the Ural mountains. Basque, Etruscan, and Raetic are unclassified languages. Turkish is part of the Turko-Mongolic family, which is a part of the Altaic family.

    Trust me, I do most of the linguistic work on the Sweboz and CENSORED as well as a lot of work on the CENSORED.

    If you have questions you can PM me.

    Also, Ibrahim - I need you to check on my Aramaic work for AtB. How does it look so far? Perhaps we can give a preview of AtB Aramaic, which will probably replace the Persian names for the Generic Eastern units, as well as the names of the Nabatu and their buildings.

    I can only give you a superficial appraissal of the phrases, seeing that my aramaic is total ****.

    So, this means there is another Germanic faction, I Assume ;)

    Not necessarily, there is nothing to stop him working on more than one language, note that in the same post he asked Ibrahim to go over his Aramaic work for AtB.

    Yes and also there could be Estonian, Basque, Etruscan, and Raetic factions. The post in inconclusive. But regardless of that, some sort of german faction is very likely anyway. I for one am having trouble thinking of enough worthy factions to fill up an extra 9 or 10 slots or whatever. At least without going overboard in one location.
    Completed Campaigns:
    Macedonia EB 0.81 / Saby'n EB 1.1
    Qart'Hadarst EB 1.2 / Hai EB 1.2
    Current Campiagns:
    Getai/Sauromatae/Baktria
    donated by Brennus for attention to detail.

    The list I have settled on is:
    Pergamon
    Masaesyli
    Bosporan Kingdom
    Boii
    Arevaci
    A Belgic tribe
    Kingdom of Kratli (Caucasian Iberia)
    Massylii
    The final one or two are anyones guess but the Lugii, Bastarnae, Scordiscii, Atropatene, a Kamboja tribe and a few others are all good candidates.

    Judging by the latest twitter announcement one of the new factions is about to be previewed (or maybe a sweboz preview).

    Did anyone ever think of putting an Indian faction like Maurya? Or is the small amount of India on the map making the team say no?

    Yeah the team decided that given most of the Mauryan empire (and India for that matter) was completely off the map it would be unrealistic to have them as a faction.

    Plus there are no more cultures left

    Nice quote btw! I wonder where they all come from, I also like the Antiochos VII Sidetes one, but am unable to find it's source...
