Tartessian language

Formerly spoken in

Txr

The Tartessian language (also Südlusitanisch ) is an extinct language and part of the pre-Indo- substrate. It was spoken in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula to the ancient city of Tartessos.

The language is supported by a number of stone inscriptions. These have been dated to the period between the 7th and 5th centuries BC and are in their own, the Iberian alphabet resembling, written Tartessian script. This document has not yet been convincingly deciphered, so classification of the language is difficult.
