La lingua Etrusca : a nice site devoted to the Etruscan tongue (in Italian)

 

Etruscan Glossary : a very interesting project, quite usefull for any serious student of Etruscan

 

The Etruscan Network : a compendium of all sites devoted to the Etruscans

 

Linguistique - Langues italiques et étrusques : a selected bibliography (in French)

 

Viteliu : a site devoted to the languages of pre-roman Italy

 

LEMNOS STELE : a turkish interpretation of the Lemnos Stele, not my thesis, but worth considering

 

Etruscan : a curious hypothesis about the nature of the Etruscan tongue (it would be a latin based slang).

 

Voice of Stones : a very interesting site about old tongues of Italy

 

 

LANGUAGES ON THE WEB : a very good compendium of web ressources

 

Dechipherment of the Etruscan language : Intellectual garbage. If you want to waste your time...

 

Edo Nyland's Linguistic archaeology : can we talk ourselves into virtually any kind of delirium ? Obviously, yes

 

The Proto-language page : an attempt to reconstitute the mother tongue of humanity with a section about Etruscan. A bit overaudacious in my view, but that's serious work

 

Etruscan as a Dravidian language : can a professional scientist make an amateurish work : yes, he can

 

Ancient fonts : a great collection of ancient font for PC and MAC, including Etruscan

 

Basque, Magyar Comparison - Index : a interesting site with a good Etruscan section. The guy is a bit overaudacious, but since he is cautious in his conclusions, it is worth being seen

 

SLAVONIC ANTIQUITY : where you learn that Etruscan is a slavic tongue. I have never seen anybody claiming it was a martian language, probably because I did not search

 

EXPAK8 - The Etruscan Bronze Liver of Piacenza : Another kook, zodiacal, this time

 

Alternative History Of Ancient Europe : An interesting sita about non-mainstream European peoples, with a good Etruscan section

 

rasenna : a very good site about Etruscans and etruscology, just too bad it is in French.

 

IndoTyrrhenian : an interesting theory about the prehistory of the Etruscan tongue.

 

phoinic : this guy claims he has deciphered the Discus of Magliano which would have been written in a tongue called arbenetike. Since this arbenetike is an Albanese dialect full of MODERN Greek words, I am a bit sceptical.

 

Etruscan Resource and References Page : the links are interesting, the theory is delirious

 

Etruscan_Phrases : another one who does not know Etruscan is written in the Greek alphabet. You also learn that Etruscan is close to Romance tongues. Hey, guy, never heard about something called Latin ?

Etruscans This page could have been great if the author had not tried to compare Etruscan with Indo-European and Hebrew. Obviously, he knows neither Indo-European nor Hebrew.

ETRUSCAN : the Hail Mary in Etruscan (sic). Is it really necessary to say it is an hoax ? 

Etruscan Language : another avarnetika theory
