	Irish Language
		The Celtic language family is made up of the extinct Continental Celtic languages (consisting of Celtiberian, Gaulish, Lepontic, and Galatian), and the Insular Celtic languages of the so-called British Isles.
		This insular group is further divided into the Brythonic languages, consisting of Cumbrian, Welsh, Cornish, and Breton of which only Welsh and Breton have survived into modern times, and the Goidelic family of Scots Gaelic, Manx Gaelic, and Irish Gaelic, known in Ireland simply as Irish.
		Celts in western continental Europe spoke Gaulish; Celts in what is now called Spain spoke Celtiberian; Celts in the Balkans spoke Galatian; Celts in the region of modern Switzerland spoke Lepontic.

	Lepontic language (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The language was spoken in the lake region of northern Italy between 700 and 400 BC, however, it is probable it was used also before and after this date but we have no proof of that.
		Scientists agree to the statement that Lepontic Celts came here during one of the first waves of Celtic expansion over Europe, and lived here until they were eventually assimilated by Latin (or by the later arrived Sennon Gauls, representing the next Celtic wave).
		We can only state that Lepontic was a P-Celtic tongue, but of a specific group different from both Brittonnic ang Goidelic.

	Lepontic language - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Lepontic is an extinct Celtic language, the language of the Lepontii, that was spoken in parts of Cisalpine Gaul between 700 BC and 400 BC.
		Lepontic was assimilated first by Gaulish, with the settlement of Gaulish tribes north of the River Po, and then by Latin, after the Roman Republic gained control over Gallia Cisalpina during the late second and first century BC.
		The older Lepontic inscriptions date back to before the 5th century BC, the item from Castelletto Ticino being dated at the 6th century BC and that from Sesto Calende possibly being from the 7th century BC (Prosdocimi, 1991).

	Lepontic - Definition, explanation
		The language is only known from a few inscriptions discovered that were written in a variety of the Northern Italic alphabet, which was related to the Old Italic alphabet.
		The closely related Rhaetic and Venetic dialects had similar scripts, and many scholars believe that they and the Lepontic writing systems are the direct models adopted for the Germanic runic alphabets.
		Others, however, question the classification of this dialect as Gaulish and even Celtic, but consider it, together with a number of other dialects of ancient Northern Italy and Southern Gaul, as related to the Ligurian language.

		This language was spoken in the lake region of northern Italy between 700 and 400 B.C.; however, it most probably was used before and after this date as well, though we have no existing proof of that.
		Scientists agree to the statement that Lepontic Celts came here during one of the first waves of Celtic expansion over Europe and lived in the region until they were eventually assimilated by the expanded Latin (Roman) state (or by the later-arrived Senone Gauls, who represented the next major Celtic wave).
		Soon nothing is to be heard (or found) concerning the Lepontic language, and finally Romans assimilated all language groups who had to this point lived here.

		Gaulish is paraphyletically grouped with Celtiberian, Lepontic, and Galatian as Continental Celtic.
		The earliest Continental Celtic inscriptions, dating to as early as the 6th century BC, are in Lepontic (sometimes considered a dialect of Gaulish), found in Gallia Cisalpina and were written in a form of the Old Italic alphabet.
		Inscriptions in the Greek alphabet from the 3rd century BC have been found in the area near the mouths of the RhÃ´ne, while later inscriptions dating to Roman Gaul are mostly in the Latin alphabet.

	Glozel, Bones of Contention - The Writing
		The Roman historian Livy writes that a part of the Gallic tribe of the Bituriges Cubi, located to the northwest of Glozel, in what is today Berry, migrated around 400 BC accompanied by neighboring groups toward the plain of the Po in the direction of Mediolanum, today Milan.
		It was the Celts of the Golasecca culture in northern Italy, in Piedmont and Lombardy, who had first adapted a northern Etruscan alphabet to record a Celtic language during the Hallstatt period, in the seventh century BC.
		The use of similar or practically identical Lepontic proper names in both Glozel and Cisalpine Gaul must be the result of a long tradition.

	LISTSERV 14.4
		Irish and Celtiberian are more conservative branches of Celtic, retaining the PIE -kw- whereas Lepontic, Gaulish and Brittonic transform it into a -p-.
		It is interesting to note that the characteristically Celtic loss of PIE -P- seems to be reaching its completion by the earliest Lepontic inscriptions - which have a letter -v- where we might expect a PIE -P- (ex: UVAMO- possibly from PIE *UP-eM-O).
		The value of the -v- is unsure - perhaps it is a consonantal -w- or an -f- sound.

		While the language is named after the tribe of the Lepontii, which occupied portions of Rhaetia (in modern Switzerland and Italy), in the Alps, bordering Cisalpine Gaul, the term is currently used by many Celticists to apply to all Celtic dialects of ancient Italy.

		The term "Insular" refers to the place of origin of these languages, the British Isles, in contrast to the (now extinct) Continental Celtic languages of mainland Europe and Anatolia.
		There is a theory that the Brythonic and Goidelic languages evolved together in those islands, having a common ancestor more recent than any shared with the Continental Celtic languages such as Celtiberian, Gaulish, Galatian and Lepontic, among others, all of which are long extinct.
		The proponents of the Insular Celtic hypothesis point to shared innovations among Insular Celtic languages, including inflected prepositions, shared use of certain verbal particles and VSO word order.

		As explained in the overall description, the focus on the writing aspect that characterizes this research project has a particularly promising area available in northern Italy.
		For what concerns the Celtic language, in the area covered by this language identified with the so-called Lepontic alphabet, the writing forms correspond constantly with the cultural and ethnic aspects that are expressed by the language.
		The ‘ideological' use of writing as an ethnic assertion reflects both in coinage (legends) and in the epigraphy of the Cenomanic area during the Romanization period (see the references to paragraphs 2.4 and 2.4a, below).

		The three best known runic alphabets are the elder futhark, the younger futhark, and the Anglo-Saxon futhorc.
		The most likely candidate for the origins of runic scripts are 5th to 1st century BC Lepontic, Rhaetic and Venetic alphabets from northern Italy, all closely related to each other and descended from Etruscan.
		These scripts bear a remarkable resemblance to the futhark in many regards.
