Syllabary found on ancient Basque
inscriptions of Spain and Portugal, untranslated until 1979, when Barry Fell noted
a match with the Algonquian syllabary of Canada. He was able to give phonetic renderings of the ancient Iberian
inscriptions. That these are indeed
written in an early form of Basque language was confirmed in 1980 and 1981 by
Imanol Agire, the Basque epigrapher, lexicographer, and authority on the
history of world alphabets (Fell 1982). |
