Talk:Punic language

message: Is it safe to say that the Roman conquest of Carthage and the Romanization of former Punic speakers is what led the language becoming extinct?  If so, how many years or generations did it take from the time Rome conquered Carthage to the time Punic became a dead language?  This article doesn't really clarify.  98.221.141.21 (talk) 21:56, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Cause of Extinction

message: It's more like it continued to evolve in contact of other languages over time, and ended up giving today what is known as the Maghrebi Arabic dialects or languages (Moroccan arabic, Algerian arabic, Tunisian Arabic, Malti and Libyan Arabic). This was quite foreseeable actually considering the multiple sources, about the way the people there speak and the relative deep propagation of punic among pre-islamic berbers and the survival of many punic town little or unromanised after Carthage.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Exacrion (talk • contribs) 11:23, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it did not.  It survives only in the influence it has had on the Arabic that replaced it.  — kwami (talk) 19:36, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: About the merger

message: This page was kind of a mess. :( I cleaned it up, added some tags and links and generally made it at least look better. I don't really any information on the language itself to add, but at least it's nicer to see. :) Wilybadger 22:28, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Signing the Article 

message: It is my (non-expert) understanding that virtually nothing is actually known of the Punic language (other than its relationship to Phoenician).  This article appears to have very serious issues, and may indeed be mostly nonsense.--Pharos (talk) 03:30, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No expertize needed to see that much of this article is bogus, see below! Said: Rursus ☻ 13:06, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

text: I found the Punic sample in Poenulus Plauti as the article claims, and so I added an external link. I redraw my bogus claim and now claim that only the old Norse sample is obvious bogus. Said: Rursus ☻ 14:05, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Serious problems with this article 

message: Article says:
:A further documentation attributes this oath to Barcid family leaders:
::hialpi mer sva Melqart, ok Eschmoun, ok hin almattki an Tanit.
!!! Did the Carthagines speak old Norse? It sounds exactly (except the names) like a rune stone inscriptiom and should mean:
::help me so Melqart, and Eschmoun, and the almighty an Tanit.
where only "almighty" = "almattki" must be explained by some sound laws, such as ht > tt (right ~ rätt), and +ki as a fast-speach contraction of +igi, a masculine ending of ending counterparting English +ish such as in "red" ~ "reddish". Said: Rursus ☻ 13:01, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: To stress it: that old Norse is from around 900-1100 AD, while Punic is from the antiquity. Exactly that claimed Punic seems to suffer from a sever anachronism – the other one I cannot analyze yet, since my old semitic is decidedly lacking. Said: Rursus ☻ 14:09, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

text: After reading that, I decided to go through all your edits to see which needed to be reverted.  You might want to provide a ref, because it sounds like utter bullshit (though it would be fantastic if true).  — kwami (talk) 21:45, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course! There is a time difference of 500-1000 years between the old Norse and the Punic, old Norse being the later. At the time of the inscription, Scandinavian ought to have spoken some proto-Norse, which is very different in character. Rursus dixit. (mbork3!) 04:22, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

message: The claim that Punic was spoken during Saint Augustine's time is disputed and doesn't hold much water. It cannot be stated as a fact in the article. For now, I'm leaving here this source about the meaning of "Chenani" that was mentioned by Augustine and will add more sources later on. M.Bitton (talk) 22:09, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
