Many, many years ago I signed up for an intersession course on The Culture of Italy. The professor provided the class with about 60 topics for research and study. We had six weeks to do research and submit our work (everyone turned in well over 150 typewritten pages). I chose the Etruscans. I had read about them, but I felt they were deserving of more study. I still have my "tome" on the Etruscans somewhere in the house. But it wasn't until I got to travel to Italy and one of my cousins took me to see some of the Etruscan tombs that all my research came back to me. It was one thing to read about the Etruscans but another thing to see their objects, statues, artifacts, etc. They contributed so much to Rome---engineering, architecture, fine arts, gladiator games, food preparation, and more. Now, I'm going to make a concerted effort to find that "tome" and re-read what I wrote about the Etruscans so many decades ago. Your video piqued my interest!

Incorrect - he was the last Roman writer that documented it - the last people to "master" it were the last surviving Etruscan speakers, before they went extinct. Additionally, we have no idea of how well Claudius spoke or understood the language - 1) we can't really speak Etruscan so we couldn't compare it, and 2) we don't have his written book(s) on the matter and cannot critique it - remember, many historians of that age were only partially objective and wrote under a possible retribution if they were not complementary - and Herodian, for example, who didn't know Etruscan, was glib to praise Claudius' work without knowing the true facts. As a historian, knowing full well how pedantic and fussy Claudius' personality was, I think his book on the subject would be 'disappointing' if it had survived and we could study it. He was also a Roman with many built-in prejudices about the Etruscans partly based on sheer ignorance of their origins and his own.

Words like "brother" became "bro," or even "bruh." Long words such as "legitimate" shortened to "legit," and later, "lit". Even entire phrases became condensed into largely consonant-based iconography- phrases such as "laugh out loud" became "lol" and "[I will] be right back" became "brb".

Very engagingly presented. Fascinating topic.

Careful! Just because vowels aren't written doesn't mean they don't exist in the spoken language. Scribes get lazy and start writing just enough of a word to be recognizable, or they abbreviate common phrases, and the first things dropped are usually vowels because they carry relatively little semantic meaning. They're there chiefly to help our mouths flow from one consonant to another. The harder or scarcer the writing material, the more incentive there is to shorten phrases via abbreviation and words via truncation and vowel elision.

Excellent, you are providing a great channel

The name of the town here where I live used to be KEIKNA (kaikna, kaiknas) , after the name of the local noble family of etruscan landlords that took their name from the local river (Keik ?). Then Rome took over and the family along with the place became CÆCINA and later Cecina. Dante mentioned it as a mostly savage and desolate place where just wild beasts hang out and by the 17th century the place was a desert hellhole of swamps where wolves would eat you in the unlikely occurrence that you had managed to survive malaria. There are etruscan dome tombs around here at mere meters from my garden and the remains of the roman villa owned by that posh family. Their underground cistern is still here and it is freaking huge and deep. Tunnels depart from that cave and lead god knows where but voices are they go under the river and to the centre of town. From time to time pieces of etruscan red and black pottery are still found around.

Fortunately recent studies are sheding light on etymolgy and etruscology.

Thank you for your fascinating videos! I've read that Etruscan had animate and inanimate nouns, and this is the distinction that Basque has now. So it seems that pre-Indo-European languages in Europe had animate-inanimate conception of nouns while PIE had three grammatical genders: masculine, feminine and neuter. Latin had three genders. Then the neuter gender was taken out of most Romance languages, except Romanian, as far as I know, and in English nouns lost their gender, except some like actor-actress, queen-king etc. But Old English had three genders as German does and as all Slavic languages do.

@Polonium Wings of Thermonuclear Hell I dont agree, The aryans were an indo european tribe like the other one's mentioned who travelled to India, taking the language, Gods and other stuff. Then they got assimilated with the natives there. Thats why there language is an indo european language, and their Gods are described with light features.

I think that they could be the proto Turks. The Italian and American researches stated that the Etruscan and Turkic DNA is 97% similar. Also the Turkic and Etruscan alphabet are too similar to each other. Also prof. Mario Alinei stated that you need to use 3 Turkic languages to understand Etruscan. So it could be possible that these people were the proto-Turks. But why are they hiding this in sources in Wikipedia or here in the video?

@Jan Klaas Because its not true. Well, they had those studies, but they've been rejected for not being accurate. The etruscans are not proto turks because proto turks don't exist. The etruscan language is a proto indo european language. There is no way, that the turks got of had language similarities with the norse,and the etruscans have that. There word for 'Gods' plural is of the same root. aisar, Aesir, Aos Si. Pretty similar right? anyway, I didn't no about that till somebody told me to search it. I remember seeing those Etruscan mosaics and they showed darkish people, but others had blondes (wtf?) So anyway, I read on wikipedia that we don't know the DNA of the Etruscans.

A couple common Etruscan phrases were, "Corn Pop was a bad dude" and, "I had hairy legs".

I was going to say, as I’ve written this before “words are gifts of knowledge,” but I’m fascinated how language morph’s over millennia. Today with Ghibli there’s a tail swing back to Picture~glyph’s and Hieroglyphs. The creatives knew a thing or two, but one always needs the counter-balance of intuitive logic to give the balance of evolution in learning new knowledge’s and create a new civilisation for the future. Lovely oratory and lecture.

Wow, I didn't realize the word "blah" went back so far.

The Romans picked up gladiatorial games from the Etruscans, so the word gladius (sword) is probably an Etruscan word originally. The name Claudius, if you assume that g (really a palatial c) and c could be interchanged going from Etruscan to Latin, could have been originally Etruscan Glaudius, which might have motivated the emperor Claudius to learn Etruscan.

If interested...according to Ellis (1861) through language analysis we observe that under the names of Phrygians, Thracians,Pelasgians and Etruscans spread westward from Armenia to Italy and Elis claimed that the closest affinities of the Aryan element are the Armenians ..other historians that agree are..Hellenthal, Busgy, Brand, Wilson, Myers and Falush...let me quote Merrick (2012) All religions are descended from and ancient Vedic cosmology described in the Rib - Veda, originating in Armenia near Mt. Ararat at least 6800 ys ago and the basic concepts of a transcendental mountain extending into space and populated planet Star-gods were developed...he further says...This Astrotheology then migrated with Armenian Aryans to found the Sumerian Ethiopian/Egyptian and Indian civilizations and religions...from Language as a fingerprint Setyan...

In 3:52 you might notice that lumpy thing on the right full of letters, divided in sections. That is the "Fegato di Piacenza" (the Liver of Piacenza), called like so for the area it was found, around Piacenza. It's the reproduction in bronze of a sheep liver, something used in divinatory arts by etruscan oracles, the haruspices, who "read" animal entrails to foresee the future. Basically that lumpy bronze liver was a "cheat sheet" for etruscan oracles and, according to the area it was found, it has been theorized it was lost while the roman legions passed through Piacenza. Etruscan were an advanced society for the time, even improving on the concept of burial (the Necropolis of Cerveteri is an example) to resemble our own. Yet, if you ask any modern Tuscan about what is the best achievement they reached, they will say "We invented the italian language with Dante" which is a blatant lie: vulgar latin was spoken way before Dante's time and way far from Tuscany.

Fascinating, thank you.

The Hungarian author, Antal Szerb (1901-45), in his splendid novel "Journey by Moonlight", describes viewing Etruscan artifacts in the Villa Giulia museum in Rome. He cites an inscription on a drinking bowl: "Foied vino pipafo cra carefo", with its translation, "I drink wine today: tomorrow there shall be none" -- a clear reference to the transitory nature of earthly existence, and one that becomes a leitmotif of the novel. The inscription, though written in the Etruscan alphabet (and from right to left), is actually in Faliscan, an Italic language that went extinct in about 150 BCE; Faliscan is close enough to Latin (e.g.: foied = hodie = today) to allow the translation. Just a small tidbit from the Hungarian fascination with all things nominally Etruscan.

I was wondering if there would be "aspirated" C, P, T. Because a characteristic of the accent of people in Tuscany nowadays is that the hard C tends to be quite aspirated (the rest of Italy is forever teasing us, claiming we say "hoha hola" instead of "coca cola", for example), and in some areas also P and T have some aspiration in the pronunciation. To the best of my (very limited) knowledge on the history of this, there isn't a definite reason, but one theory is that it might be a "leftover" from the way Etruscans used to pronounce these letters. I am not sure if something like this can happen, and if a local way of pronouncing some consonants can survive even in a whole new language.

@martaevabetakova483

3 жыл бұрын

This really is a thing :-) The "leftover" you mention is called a "substrate" or a "substratum influence" = the influence of the language of the nation that used to live in the territory (or still lives there as a small minority). It is hard to define, so serious linguists are cautious when discussing it, but they agree that it exists. Sometimes in the pronunciation, sometimes in the preference for certain prepositions or verb forms, sometimes in the way some words are coined, sometimes in the number of exceptions to grammar rules... It seems fantastic, but local communities do retain a certain way of thinking and speaking over millennia, even when they use a completely different language. For example, several European languages have a Celtic substrate because Celts used to live / live in those territories. For example, the Celtic substrate explains why the "(he) is doing" present tense is so widely used in English. It is not common in other Germanic languages, but a similar form is common in Welsh: "(he) in doing" ("Sioned yn siarad" = "Sioned in speaking", i.e. "Sioned is speaking"). A Ugro-Finnic substrate in Latvian might explain why Latvian does not have the word "into". And I could go on and on... :-) So you see, you might be right :-)

Well, The Etruscan substrate hypothesis about "Gorgia" (i.e. today's Tuscan P-T-K weakening) has been rejected with many evidences. Also, Tuscan /p t k/ pronunciations as in "la hoha hola" are not aspirated consonants; they're fricatives

The cool thing is that in Tuscany nowdays we tend to usually pronounce "T" as the english "TH". The hard "C" (your "K") is most of the time aspirated turning it in a "H". And sometimes we tend to pronounce the letter "P" as if we are almost blowing while saying it. They told me in history class that it derivates from the ancient Etruscans, and this video just proves that.

Wont go much in details, i found it online that his work is controversial in the sense that it wasn't disproved because there is no better model but was also not accepted by the greater scientist community. The fact is that Etruscan can be read but it cant be understood leaves room for debate.

Search for Sutri. There are many etruscan structures there. The old village was built over an etruscan one. You can see the Etruscan blocks on the bottom, followed by Roman, Mideval, up to modern times. There's a necropolis there. The tombs were emptied centuries ago. There's also an amphitheatre cut into the tufa rock.

It would be interesting to see someone overlay the development (expansion) and shortening (contraction) of language against the rise and fall of civilization. I'd be curious if there is a relationship between the complexity of written/spoken language to the advancement/decline of the civilization to which it belonged.

Interesting. I’m not a linguist but a Philosophy major and I’ve asked myself the same questions. Way before the fall of the roman empire in the 5th century latin was spoken/written in many forms: latin (literary latin) spoken and written by the ruling class, poets and writers and colloquial or vulgar latin (italian, spanish, french, portuguese and romanian are derived from vulgar latin) and this form was spoken by the common populace and its structure/grammar/words was in the majority of cases a contraction of literary latin. There was a politician called Appius Claudius, known solely as Claudius he changed his name to “Clodius’ (a contraction from Claudius) in order to be more popular amongst the plebeians and the commoners.

Great job!

Veey interesting. Thank you.

BRAVO for making such an educational documentary.

If I could travel back in time for anything, it would be to hear the beautiful world languages as they were thousands of years ago.

Imagine a poem in etruscan

IT'S been a long time since I've read Robert Graves's book, over 40 years ago, about Greek Myths's, but I think the Etruscans are mentioned briefly in there. The background context seems to be with religious rites. SO many linguistic & historical puzzles, still, to be solved!

Profesor Radovan Damjanovic knows a lot about it. Pozdrav.

Interesting that in Icelandic (old norse) Ás /Æsir means gods just like in Etruscan Eis /Eiser (4:48) and pronounced the same. It also has heavy accent on first syllable (5:56). Also verb past ending Gefa /Gáfum (tur/turuce) give/gave). The thing is that we know about the norse mythology through Icelandic sagas. We know that the stories of Æsir (gods) Óðinn, Þór etc. (Wotan, Thor) came from central Europe but not in much details. There are similarities between norse mythology and greek and roman mythologies however there are some discrepancies - a missing link! Perhaps there is a link to Etruscan civilisation and Scandinavians and the vikings?

i read somewhere in this comment section that the etruscan "It's strangely very similar to Irish "clann" which means "child" ".So my guess it is some relative of the etruscan had some degree of influence in those languages.

@@unochepassava1403 if u think that this veery distinct word for «god» is randomly the same, I think youre very naive. How could you possibly believe these words does not have same root?

Wow, I LOVE this video (I also love languages myself)! You are doing a great job, Sir! Thank you for that glimpse into the past ....

Case endings in Turkish are very similar. We have a towarding state of nouns using "-e". For example, "Merdiven-e" which means "to the ladder". Turke should not be a coincidence while there is a word of 'Ata'lanta, either. The same vowel Drop situation is present in Turkish. 'Boyun' changes to 'Boyn-u'. When it comes to "sh", we use "ş"

Don't worry dude, they cannot disclose Etruscan connection to Turanian, the mother of the languages from Tartary!. They really cannot understand even the name of their neigboring "Tyrrhenian sea, which reads "Turanian" ;-). @@volkanerkan3910

There were many languages that got lost - Dacian (a Thracian language), which, just as Etruscan, had a dictionary made by Trajans doctor.

PALEO-European is the term used on wikipedia. It refers to languages pre-Indoeuropean invasion (pre-6000 BC). Etruscan was paleo. Basque is the only Paleo language that still exists .
