Galatian

Galatian is an extinct Celtic language, perhaps of the Continental subfamily (according to the traditional view). It was spoken in what is now central Turkey late in the first millennium BC, and is known from a few words recorded by Greek historians. Its speakers seem to have been the Galatians of the New Testament.

Among the recorded words are personal names ending in -riks (cf. Gaulish -rix/-reix, Old Irish ri:, Latin re:x) "king", some ending in -marus, dative -mari (cf. Gaul -maros, OIr mo:r, Welsh mawr) "great", tribal names like Ambitouti (OIr imm- "around", OIr tu:ath "tribe"), and a lexical item drunaimeton "place of assembly" (cf. OIr drui: "druid", OIr nemed "holy place").
