Nice maps. And what about Lettonian language ?

Spanish football, of course.

You didn't answer. In which extend are they so different ? How do you know ? Like Dutch language is no help for deciphering Urdu. Nevertheless, they are considered to belong to the same group : Indo-european. When you talk about the neolithic languages substratum, it is about several...

In which way Iberians should be different ? I have given you a source about "basque" toponyms in NW Spain. This source give comparisons with southern Spain too. I don't say that they are the same, but they are probably close. Same thing for the Franks in France : it is defined as the land...

You are too much obseded by the onomastics. SW France was settled by pre-indo-european peoples. You can call them as you want : Aquitanian, Basques, Iberians...It changes nothing. Maybe was there different groups among them, but it does not put off that these regions were pre-indo-european...

As I know, they used to speak an indo-european language closed to the actual northern indian dialects. Nowadays, they speak generally the language of the country where they live.

Yes, I agree : the first have a pre-indo-european origin, while the second come from the Celts.

I don't see why. Iberian was the dominant language of Iberia and SW France, that's all. Don't make me say that I have never said. Onomastic is interesting to follow culture traces or influences. But it is not suffiscient to be concluding for establishing a map of cultures. If in several...

In fact, we are more civilized. We use guillotines...

Your "strong evidences" are just "traces", nothing else. And you know it.

Compared to the density of the Celtic toponyms in Britain or Gauls (diachronically of course), and compared to the pre-indo-european toponyms, very few thing.

I have already answered you. Just stop your propaganda. The castro culture is not recognized as Celtic. http://www.oppida.org/index-en.html

It does change few things in my examples. The fact is that you can speak a language and wear a name of a different language, or live in a village which wears a name of a different language. Circular ? Just logic and academically proved. For the inscriptions, I have already answered several...

You give too much credit to the "names" or the "onomastics". Normandy is full of Scandinavian onomastics through the toponymy. English surnames are full of French roots. French surnames are fool of Frankish roots... Just because there is no other solution (for Southern Europe). If they are not...
