Unlike the Mediterranean, northern Europe was poorly known to ancient scholars and explorers, so most of or our knowledge comes from second hand, or medieval accounts.
But using linguistic reconstruction and toponymy, traces of possible earlier substrates can be seen, giving us a glimpse of lost peoples and languages of ancient northern Europe.

Thank god that Tacitus's book Germania survived, even if it was down to just one copy. It has given us a priceless snapshot of Europe beyond Rome's borders.

As a Frisian travelling through Finland I noticed they used the word sipelja (or something like that) in Frisian it's sipel. But in Dutch it's ui, in English it's union, in German it's swiebel. So there's sort of connection there

One important fact of the past was the much lower population density. With fewer people living in small groups, these individual isolated groups they could developed their own linguistic individuality and complexity.

To avoid inbreeding and get metal these groups had to interact so if they where of common origin their groups likely still preserved a classic dialect continuum with every village speaking differently but every village understanding the speach of the next one.

I have had a question for a very long time whose answer I haven't had the patience to dig up, so i'll seek it here: how are the indo-european language families interrelated? I know Italic and Celtic are quite close, but it would be very interesting to see for example the distance between proto-Germanic and proto-Slavic versus the distance between proto-Slavic and proto-Indoiranian. This has always interested me since finding out that slavic languages are satem - and although I now know that doesn't really say much about the genealogy of the language family, the question has always lingered. Has any work been done on this that I can check out?

PIE is an artificial reconstruction based on guesing, such language never existed, though. Slavic or if one wants old Slavic, being the oldest language of Europe is the mother tongue of Romance and Germanic languages. All Europe toponimes and especially hydronimes confirm this premise. See few examples to this statement, English and Latin basic words that come from Slavic.. What is the etymology of English word "to write"? The simple answer: Slavic word "wryte" meaning "to carve". What is the etymology of Latin word "scribe"? a.: Slavic word, infinitive "skrobat" These two examples show Old Slavic language predates both English and Latin languages i.e. Slavic language is the true mother tongue of Europe. Knowledge in Slavic is VEDA, same as in Sanskrit. From this root-word comes "education" whereas letter "v" got dropped. English "weather" comes from Slavic "wiater", "to rape" from "rypat".

Paleo-Laplandic doesn't belong to southern Scandinavia, but is thought to have existed in northern Scandinavia in late Roman times and later being replaced when Sami people moved in. The language of southern Scandinavia was proto-Norse (a dialect continuum, most likely), closely related to proto-Germanic. Older, non-PIE languages must have existed in southern Scandinavia but were surely long gone by Roman times since there's hardly any trace if them, yet southern Scandinavia was populated before it was settled by Indo-European speakers.
@tidsdjupet-mr5ud
@tidsdjupet-mr5ud 8 часов назад
I put it into more of a central place on the map since it would not fit into the image otherwise, but you are right. Southern Scandinavia was thoroughly IE long before that time, with perhaps pitted-ware languages maybe holding out in peripheral areas in the early bronze age at the latest. But that is still a generous estimate. The earlier neolithic farmers almost completely vanished.

Very interested in those shadowy pre IE languages in Scandinavia that you mention. Please post more about those. Britannia was a Roman backwater? Constantine the Great was proclaimed Emperor in York. One question which you could perhaps answer is this: When Caesar, in Commentarii de Bello Gallico says that the people south of the Thames (Belgae, Atrobates, Regni, Cantiae) spoke the same language as their continental cousins: did he mean they spoke a Germanic or a Gaulish language? If he meant a Germanic one, then you must conclude that a form of Proto English existed, at least in the South of Britain, before the Roman Conquest: and that would change the whole debate on Brithonic versus Anglo Saxon history in Britain.
@tidsdjupet-mr5ud

there’s no evidence to suggest medieval Anglo-Saxon dialects originated in a Germanic language extant in Britain before the Roman Period, and there is nothing in the comparative analysis of Old English with her closest continental relatives that contradicts an arrival of OE in Britain during the Migration Period

Why would they loan a word that means 'to carve' and change its meaning into 'to write'? The simple answer: because they already had their own word for 'to carve'. So in fact this example proves the opposite of what you imply, that the two proto-languages coexisted and that neither is a derivative of the other one.

@@romaliop Apparently this word can be 4,5 thousand year old, and come from Bell Beaker culture folks. That time Britain was populated by protoSlavic people, who also left behind many river names like Thames, the dark river. I am not sure whether protoSlavic was directly related to P-Celtic, but I am sure it was not directly related to Q-Celtic, of course all these languages were Indo-European.

Vast majority of European hydronimes are Slavic, including such names as Thames, Po, Danube, Main, Rhein, Vesle, Drava, Wisła, Odra, Volga, Dneper. Several rivers in the British Isles carry Slavic names /just as an example/. Anybody who wishes to challenge this statement is welcome.

I'll challenge it if you like: Presumably you accept that Slavic is an IE language with its roots in PIE. If so what is this linguistic nationalism all about? The origins must be from the PIE homeland. By noticing that there are cognates between Slavic and Germanic or Brithonic place names, all that you are doing is noticing that they are branches on the same tree. Linguistics is not a nationalistic war.
