Raetic language
From Free net encyclopedia
(Redirected from Raetic)
Raetic or Rhaetic is an obscure language of antiquity, which used to be spoken in the province of Raetia, in the Eastern Alps, to the north and west of Venetic. It is sparsely attested, in inscriptions in various Old Italic alphabets, leaving room for much speculation on its ancestry. For a research history see Schumacher (1992) and Schumacher (1992) and Morandi (1999) for editions of the inscriptions. All recent authorities have stressed a connection with Etruscan (Rix 1998, Schumacher 1998).
