{"product_id":"etruscan-decipherment-stuart-l-harris-9781530220953","title":"Etruscan Decipherment: Translation of Etruscan Inscriptions","description":"For the first time, Etruscan Decipherment presents the beauty and complexity of Etruscan literature. The resulting texts embrace a range of topics that evince linguistic mastery. Translation was made possible by the discovery of a hundred bilingual inscriptions in an older script called Old European. The language is Finnish, once spoken throughout Europe. The script is a syllabary with over seventy different combinations of consonants and vowels. Because it is a syllabary, each letter spells a word, which means that even a short inscription expands into a long sentence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stuart L.
