Cisalpine Celtic: Languge, Writing, Epigraphy

In the first millennium B.C., two historical Celtic dialects had been talked in what is actually today north Italy and south Switzerland, over the north an element of the river Po, along with the valleys round the huge lakes on the south slopes on the Alps.
These dialects, Lepontic and Gaulish, tend to be grouped along as Cisalpine Celtic, i.e. ‘Celtic on this subject area of the Alps’, viewed from point of view on the ancient Romans, in contrast to the Transalpine Gaulish language on the much area of the Alps in contemporary France.
Recognized from over 400 inscriptions that span around 600 decades, the two dialects express exactly the same writing program, borrowed from Etruscans south.
This amount of the AELAW series supplies an overview of what exactly is identified concerning sentence structure in addition to lexicon of these dialects, how exactly to check the software and how to understand the the various forms of inscriptions (graffiti on ceramic, tombstones, dedicatory formulae). That is followed closely by over forty brand new graphics and paintings on the inscribed items.
A census on the inscriptions identified today and a concise bibliography round off of the quantity.
