| | Etruscan civilization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Etruscans are generally believed to have spoken a non-Indo-European language. | | | The historical Etruscans had achieved a state system of society, with remnants of the chiefdom and tribal forms. | | | Legend; namely, the story of the rape of the Sabine women, says outright that the Italic Sabines were brought into the state. |

| | Etruscan language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Some modern scholars have claimed that Etruscan as part of a larger Tyrrhenian family is distantly related to Indo-European, citing similarities in grammatical endings and vocabulary. | | | Herodotus (Histories I.94), however, describes the Tyrrhenians as immigrants from Lydia in western Anatolia, led west, fleeing famine, by their leader Tyrrhoeus, to settle in Umbria [1]; the Tyrrhenians of Herodotus are sometimes identified with the Etruscans, although there is no material cultural evidence to back this up. | | | However, we do not know when or how speakers of this dialect arrived on this island. |

| | While the cause of Etruscan migration from Lydia to Italy is very difficult to determine, the fact that Herodotus himself was born in Asia Minor, give some hope that there is some truth in his writings. | | | Greek historian Herodotus wrote that Etruscan were Lydians, who immigrated to Italy from Asia Minor. | | | Subsequently I made several attempts to verify this original decipherment. |

| | ETRUSCAN, A DRAVIDIAN TONGUE? |
| | As we were saying, some but not many of the Etruscan etymologies proposed by the many researchers of the subject are somewhat obscure and speculative. | | | And this is particularly the case when the tongue is a second tongue of, say, a minority forced to live among foreign speaking people, either at home or abroad. | | | These scholars are advised to leave the discussion of these pettier issues for later, and cling to the major one at hand, which is indeed the essence of our thesis. |

| | Etruscan Language |
| | The apparent isolation of the Etruscan language had already been noted by the ancients; it is confirmed by repeated and vain attempts of some to assign it to one of the various linguistic groups or types of the Mediterranean and Eurasian world. | | | A third language, Camunic, sparsely recorded in NW Italy and written in the Etruscan alphabet, may possibly also have been related, but the evidence is too sparse to allow any safe conclusions. | | | Lemnian, recorded on the island of Lemnos, also appears to have been related to Etruscan. |

| | The Etruscan Language in General |
| | We do not know, however, how and when it came to be spoken there. | | | The Etruscan language which read on the earliest inscriptions in Etruria had evidently already been spoken in the area for long time, and it provides proof of the Etruscans' relationship with their neighbours. | | | Etruscan cannot be interpreted through any kind of 'etymological' method which claims connections, for example, with Albanian and Basque, Hebrew, Turkish, etc. Such connections are based on accidental, superficial resemblances with other languages or language families, not on any real relationship. |
