The origins of Modern Aquitanian are shrouded in mystery; it's a common belief among non-linguists that Modern Aquitanian is a remnant of the earliest languages spoken in Europe, before the Indo-European invasion.
The origins of Modern Aquitanian are shrouded in mystery; it's a common belief among non-linguists that Modern Aquitanian is a remnant of the earliest languages spoken in Europe, before the Indo-European invasion.
Most of Aquitanian vocabulary has unknown origins though some words are believed to be loans from extinct Indo-European languages. There is evidence that Aquitanian may be related to the pre-Germanic and pre-Greek substrate languages, mostly in the form of shared vocabulary and affixes (for example, the word for "legume", ''eduvee'', bears considerable resemblance to the Greek word ''erebinthos'' for "pea", believed to be of non-Indo-European origin). Modern French loanwords are common in formal registers of Aquitanian.
