The Pelasgian Language

The Pelasgian Language

What is the language the Pelasgians spoke?
Still remain of the Pelasgians who live above the Tyrrheni in the city of Creston--who were once neighbors of the people now called Dorians, and at that time inhabited the country which now is called Thessalian-- and of the Pelasgians who inhabited Placia and Scylace on the Hellespont, who came to live among the Athenians, and by other towns too which were once Pelasgian and afterwards took a different name: if, as I said, one may judge by these, the Pelasgians spoke a language which was not Greek. If, then, all the Pelasgian stock spoke so, then the Attic nation, being of Pelasgian blood, must have changed its language too at the time when it became part of the Hellenes. For the people of Creston and Placia have a language of their own in common, which is not the language of their neighbors; and it is plain that they still preserve the manner of speech which they brought with them in their migration into the places where they live.

IDEA: The survival of a city in Tuscany with Pelasgic language is seen as a fact apart of the majoritary language of the region, the Etruscan, pointing that that were not related languages, and that some Pelasgians were not assimilated in Tuscany. So that would lead to think that Etrusc was a direct descendent language of Lydian, supposedly influenced by the Pelasgian and Italic substrates. If the Tyrrheni are the Etruscans, then Creston may be Cortona, but is not sure. Herodotus describes the migration of the Pelasgians to Umbria, where they made Cortona their chief town. The language of Cortona, which was Etruscan [??], Herodotus said that it was Pelasgian, which is only because he accepts the story that the Etruscans were, at least partly, Pelasgians.

Strabo: "To Gravisci [city in Toscana], then, the distance is three hundred stadia; and in the interval is a place called Regis Villa. History tells us that this was once the palace of Maleos, the Pelasgian, who, it is said, although he held dominion in the places mentioned, along with the Pelasgi who helped him to colonise them, departed thence to Athens. And this is also the stock to which people belong who have taken and now hold Agylla. Again, for Gravisci to Pyrgi the distance is a little less than one hundred and eighty stadia; it is the port-town of the Caeretani, thirty stadia away. And Pyrgi has a temple of Eilethyia, an establishment of the Pelasgi".

IDEA: Strabo also details the process of colonization and foundation of Greek cities in Magna Grecia [South Italy] and the western coast of Turkey with detail. Few scholars doubt about his informations on that.

IDEA: Confirmation of a Pelasgian migration before that of the Tyrrhenians.

IDEA: Egyptian Sea People "Denyen" could be identified as the Danaans (Pelasgians) ? Which territories they were able to held ?? Maybe Toscana ? Strabo: "As for Pisa, it was founded by those Pisatae who lived in the Peloponnesus, who made the expedition to Ilium with Nestor and on the return voyage went astray, some to Metapontum, and others to the territory of Pisa, although all of them were called Pylians."

IDEA: then a Greek [or Pelasgian] colony in Toscana; a fact that would point again to a blend between Greek, Linear B Greek and Anatolian.

CONCLUSION: The actual Tuscany seems was inhabited by native Itatic tribes (Umbri above all), and that after the Trojan War were pushed towards the mountains by Pelasgians, themselves expelled from Albania and Greece.

Some decades after, it would appear a new wave of invaders, in this case coming from Anatolia (Lydians), but could be more logic to think that the Lydians were invaders of Maeonia (as could be seen in the section of Anatolia) from the Aegean Islands, inhabited by Leleges. Some of such Leleges would have remained in the Aegean Islands after the Greek colonization, erecting some centuries after the Lemnos' stele.
