 Uniqueness in the heart of Europe - Venetic culture
Slovenian linguist Matej Bor put forward an interesting hypothesis regarding the identity of these ancient people.   He argued that the original of Venet (Veneti is the plural form of Venet in Slavic languages) is actually Slo-venet (Slovenets = Slovenian of male gender).
To his surprise and delight he found in the inscriptions, buried for more than two millennia, many words still in use in Slovenian dialects, as well as words used in modern literary Slovenian, which were unmistakable derivatives.
After the breakthrough Bor made by unlocking the riddle of the so-called alphabet tablet ES 24, the Venetic inscriptions could be read and understood by a trained linguist of similar background.
