As in, there aren't even any writings of Liburnian. Everything that can be gathered is onomastic-based.

Most of the more modern research suggests it isn't Indo-European but influenced.

The seafaring nature of these unidentified peoples also accounts for their distribution: Pontic Anatolia with the Kaskians, where via the Halys River you get the Hattians; the Sakarya and Gediz rivers creating a pocket in NW Anatolia for later Trojans and their periphery (it was almost...

If there is a consensus, it is that Liburnian is non-IE. The islands of Dalmatia (prior to Illyrian expansion) would have been pretty good refuge for the seafaring coastal inhabitants when the major IE wave swept over Europe in the BA so I consider it plausible. I do not consider it plausible...

Liburnian does not seem to be related to Venetic. I think the coincidence between the Liburnes, Livorno (from Latin Liburnus), and the settlement of Liburnum in Liguria is striking

I dont know how you can possibly substantiate that from a map of the extent of the culture. They seem a good candidate for whoever the Ancient Greeks called Pelasgians if anything.

Anybody have an idea of whether this group was IE or not? I'd imagine not seeing as they appear to be ancestral to the Liburnians but I'm not exactly sure either.

This is really weird it doesn't show on the thread but if I choose to post, I can see my posts

Nevermind, just couldn't find it for some reason
