Abstract


The author exposes again his theory, which considers Etruscan as a derivative of the most ancient Indoeuropean, preserved in some Anatolian languages. He studies this problem from a linguistic point of view: sg. = Pl., N. = Ac., N. = G., nominal, adjectival and verbal (monothematic) flexion of an archaic IE type, comparing Etruscan with the pre-brugmannian, archaic Indoeuropean. He maintains his opinion that the Etruscans arived in Italy in the VII century b. C. or before, bringing an archaic Indoeuropean language from Asia Minor. Naturally, it adquired secundarily some Italic elements. — He criticizes the opinions of several linguists and as well some theories of nationalistic nature which should be withdrawn now. Archaeologists have silenced linguistic problems which are important, but alien to them.
