	Lepontic language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

	Labara: Introduction to the Celtic Languages
		Celtic language is considered by scholars and the modern pan-Celtic movement to be the central, defining criterion of Celtic culture and identity, and few would deny that the chief inspirations of Celtic Paganism and Druidism are the flower of cultures that are indeed Celtic by that definition.
		A language both shapes and is shaped by the values and self-concepts of its community and culture.
		A Celtic language may be briefly defined as any of a group of languages which are organically and directly related to the language of these people.

	LABARA - talking about Celtic language
		But when a community changes its language, the result is not a development within a culture, but a distinct cultural break - the old worldview and self-concept is lost, as well as the more obvious loss of contact with literary and oral tradition and heritage.
		Recognising the essential role of language to the life and spirit of cultures, they are talking about Celtic language speakers and their cultures.
		Manx, or Gailck, is the Celtic language of the Isle of Man. It is likely that here, as in Scotland, the native Irish colonists arrived around the fifth century CE and found a principally Brythonic-speaking population.

	Lepontic 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.

		Celtic languages originally extended in a broad swath from south-western Iberia (Spain), through Gaul (France) and the Alpine region, into the Middle Danube, and one group of Celtic settlers, the Galatians, introduced Celtic into central Asia Minor where it as said to be recognizable in the fourth century AD.
		Of the recognized Celtic languages, Celtiberian was spoken in Iberia with the earliest inscriptions dating to the third century BC with suggestion that the language was there at least two centuries earlier.

		All Celtic languages are tentatively traced back to Common Celtic, which was the parent language of both the Continental and Insular Celtic languages.
		In these languages are found a number of linguistic features that seldom occur in other Indo-European languages, features which might possibly be explained by the influence of a non-Celtic people who continued to live in Britain and Ireland after the Celtic settlements of those areas (c.

	Extinct and Dead Languages of Italy
		a centum language (not to be confused with Venetian, the modern dialect, which is a romance language), once spoken in the Veneto region of Italy.
		The language is attested by over 300 short inscriptions dating between the 5th century and 1st century, which use a variety of the Northern Italic alphabet, similar to the Old Italic alphabet.
		Normally this occurs when a language is directly replaced by a different one, for example, Coptic, which was replaced by Arabic, or, in Italy, Etruscan, which was replaced by Latin.

	Arvorec - IBWiki
		Arvorec is a language of the Gallo-Brythonic branch of the Celtic family, spoken natively in the Armorican Isles by around 130,000 people and in several overseas expatriate communities, particularly in Brittany, Kemr and Louisianne.
		During the eighteenth century, a group of Armorican literati bemoaned the increasing use of loan-words in the language and set upon a policy of re-Celticising the language, proposing neologisms based on native roots or reborrowing from Gaulish to replace many of the Romance loans.
		Still today the preservation of the native language is taken seriously by the Arvorchedeth, rather than borrow foreign words for new concepts, new words are diligently created for public use from native sources (for example the Arvorec word for "computer" is rêvyth, from rêf "number" and the suffix -yth, denoting a tool.

	P-Celtic
		The branch of the Celtic language which includes Welsh, Cornish, Breton, and the extinct languages of Gaulish, Lepontic, Noric, and Galatian.
		Breton and Cornish are closely related, and Breton is usually classified as an insular language, as the Bretons were originally refugees from Britain, and not Gauls.
		Some argue that the Q-Celtic branch is older; however, Lepontic inscriptions have been found in North Italy, and date to 700 BCE.

		The English language has evolved over many hundreds of years from three main linguistic sources; primarily Germanic, but with deep roots in the Celtic and Italic languages.

		Before its demise in the eighteenth century, the Cornish language was exported to the Brittany region of north-western France sometime during the Dark Ages of the seventh or eighth century, where it is still spoken today in the form of Breton.

		The strange-sounding Ligurian dialect, common to the whole region, though with differing shades of pronunciation and meaning near the French, Piedmont, and Tuscan boundaries, is derived from a mixture of French and Italian with the ancient Celtic dialects of Northern Italy.
		Also contrary to popular belief, historians have concluded that the Celts had a written language as early as the third century BCE, but made little use of it except on coinage and memorials, placing a higher value on the ability to remember vast quantities of information correctly.
		The Lepontic language, which the Celts used at that time, has also been called the language of Golasecca, with origins dating two millenia before the earliest Etruscan language.

		Despite the fact that Irish is the first official language of the Republic of Ireland, most Irish people have only a nodding acquaintance with genuine daily fluency in their native tongue, and Ireland is far from a monoglot country.

		The differences between P and Q languages are most easily seen in the word for son, mac in Q (hard K sound) and map in P languages.
		The division into "Continental" and "Insular" may not be genetically correct, since the distinction between P and Q languages is found among the "Continental" languages as well: Celtiberian is Q-Celtic, while Gaulish and the other Continental Celtic languages are P-Celtic.

	Glozel, Bones of Contention - The Writing
		In comparing the Glozel inscriptions with these written languages, one finds close relationships with the Celtic texts from Transalpine Gaul (Gallo-Greek and Gallo-Latin), with the Celtic inscriptions (Lepontic and Cisalpine Gaulish) in use in Cisalpine Gaul (the north of Italy and southern Switzerland), as well as with the Greek, Etruscan, and Latin alphabets.
		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.
		The use of similar or practically identical Lepontic proper names in both Glozel and Cisalpine Gaul must be the result of a long tradition.

		No inscriptions survive of the indigenous languages of Sardinia and Corsica: though colonial inscriptions from these areas (in Phoenician and Etruscan respectively) have been found.
		The use of the term "Ligurian" is confusing, since it is used both for a pre-Indo-European substrate language whose chief evidence is place names, as well as an Indo-European language (not Celtic or Italic) from names in an inscription near Genoa.
		The language of the historical Ligurians was probably the second of these.
