 ORIGIN OF THE IBERIAN SPEAKING PEOPLES   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
There are only two theories which try to explain the origin of the Iberian speaking peoples: one considers the Iberian language to be a “lingua franca” expanding from south to north; the other one considers it as a relatively recent linguistic layer which came from France or even West Germany.
One major difference between both theories is their opinion on the relation between the Basque and the Iberian languages: the first one is better explained is there is no relation between them; the second one considers the relation as almost sure and uses it as important evidence.
Hence De Hoz considers that the Iberian language expanded as a language used in economic transactions between peoples which didn’t speak the same language; that is, as a lingua franca, and by an economic and cultural Iberian influence.

 HISTORY OF THE PALEOHISPANIC WRITING SYSTEMS
Despite the fact that some researchers continue to advocate for a double origin of the Palaeohispanic scripts, and even for a multiple origin (that is, that they come from both Phoenician and Greek scripts and that Tartessian, Meridional and Levantine were originated from these independently), the mono-genesis, once and only from Phoenician writing, is clear.
The form of its signs shows that the Phoenician writing variant taken as model is to be dated in the second half of the IX century (examples of the Phoenician model are the well-dated inscriptions of Kilamuwa and of Tel Dan), so the Sudlusitanian (or proto-Sudlusitanian) writing system must have been formed around this date.
From the Sudlusitanian or from the hypothetical proto-Sudlusitanian derived the Meridional Iberian (its inscriptions are later and its signs less close to the Phoenician ones but still very similar to the Sudlusitanians).
