The main way to approach the old onomastics are the «onomastic landscapes», that define a region according to specific names, suffixes or morphological processes. It is clear that, in regions with own epigraphic culture and language, the «onomastic landscapes» come to agree (accurately) with the extension of the languages. This way, the onomastic landscapes become valid instruments of analysis of regions without epigraphic culture.
