Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers the linguistic connections between the ancient Messapians and the Illyrians. The author draws upon linguistic, archaeological, and historical evidence to argue that the Messapians, an enigmatic people who inhabited the Salento peninsula in southern Italy, shared a common origin with the Illyrians, an ancient people who occupied the western Balkans. The book examines the linguistic similarities between Messapian and Illyrian, including shared vocabulary, grammar, and phonology, and explores the historical and cultural contexts that may have facilitated these connections. The author also discusses the broader implications of these findings for our understanding of the pre-Roman populations of the Mediterranean region and the complex linguistic and cultural interactions that shaped their histories.
