From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Thracian language was the Indo-European language spoken in ancient times by the Thracians.
As an extinct language that has no literature left, there's little known about it, but many words can be found in Greek sources or inscriptions (most of them written with Greek script) on both buildings and coins.
Various relationships were proposed, among which with the Dacian language (which is sometimes considered a Northern dialect) or Phyrgian language (who are considered Thracians that migrated to Anatolia), but both are hard to prove, due to the scarcity of words left since they are all extinct languages.
Also with Albanian language or Armenian language have been proposed links, but that's hard to prove because of the large changes in these languages since ancient times.
It was spoken in the teritory of today's Bulgaria, Southern Romania, Yugoslavia and Northern Greece.Clasification
