    Similar words between Latin and Gaulish Celtic

    Was Brythonic a single language? Presumably the Belgic migrations to Britain brought a language that would have been similar to Gaulish whereas the native Celts would have spoken a language which had evolved from a q-celtic form similar to goidelic.

    Genetic study Genomes from 82 Etruscans and Southern Italians.(800 BCE – 1,000 CE).

    Thanks, that explains it.

    Genetic study Genomes from 82 Etruscans and Southern Italians.(800 BCE – 1,000 CE).

    I frequently read that Etruscan culture sprung from villanovan, which itself was part of the Urnfield. However I also read that Italic culture sprung from Villanovan. Can both be correct?

    R1b-L51

    As an interested amateur I'm probably missing the obvious. Why is Steppe R1b-P269 not descended from Neolithic East European R1b-P297. On explanation is that R1b picked up CHG in the Caucasus but surely it could be from a CHG tribe in the Steppe.

    Origin of the Basques

    How can any language be "older" than another. Haven't all languages evolved from the same homo sapien source?

    Origin of the Basques

    The men didn't necessarily adopt the language of the women. They may not have hung arround. It was the children who adopted the language of their mothers.

    PIE-like languages

    The asumption always seems to be that when mutations occurred the people separated. R1b and R1a mutated some 20,000 years ago. No doubt some groups went their own way but the R1a and R1b Indo Europeans were still speaking the same language 14,000 years later.

    What Was The Original Language of R1a1a?

    In this and many other threads, the assumption is that when R1a and R1b mutated some 20,000ya they also divided into separate tribes and recombined on the Steppe 7,000 ya to become PIE, from which they split by various founder effects. Could it be that they remained mixed whilst migrating from...

    Celtic family tree

    Just to clarify, are you saying that the Insular Celtic developments probably occurred after the Q/P split and after Continental Celtic had died out? Presumably Breton either followed the Insular Celtic developments or was the result of later migration?

    Celtic family tree

    Brythonic/Gaulish/Belgic I frequently read that Brythonic, being an Insular Celtic language, had more in common with Goidelic. Although Brythonic had adopted the p-celtic fashion, how could it be so similar to Gaulish? Could Caesar have been referring to Belgic as they inhabited both sides of...
