Question: Inhabitants of the British Isles during the Empire Nsaser's country became a colony of in 1st century BC spoke which language?

the earliest known references to the islands as a group appeared in the writings of sea-farers from the ancient greek colony of massalia. the original records have been lost; however, later writings, e.g. avienus's ora maritima, that quoted from the massaliote periplus (6th century bc) and from pytheas's on the ocean (circa 325–320 bc) have survived. in the 1st century bc, diodorus siculus has prettanikē nēsos, "the british island", and prettanoi, "the britons". strabo used βρεττανική (brettanike), and marcian of heraclea, in his periplus maris exteri, used αἱ πρεττανικαί νῆσοι (the prettanic isles) to refer to the islands. historians today, though not in absolute agreement, largely agree that these greek and latin names were probably drawn from native celtic-language names for the archipelago. along these lines, the inhabitants of the islands were called the πρεττανοί (priteni or pretani). the shift from the "p" of pretannia to the "b" of britannia by the romans occurred during the time of julius caesar. <SEP> Yugoslavia had a liberal travel policy permitting foreigners to freely travel through the country and its citizens to travel worldwide, whereas it was limited by most Communist countries. A number[quantify] of Yugoslav citizens worked throughout Western Europe. He also met numerous celebrities. Tito met many world leaders during his rule, such as Soviet rulers Joseph Stalin, Nikita Khrushchev and Leonid Brezhnev; Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser, Indian politicians Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi; British Prime Ministers Winston Churchill, James Callaghan and Margaret Thatcher; U.S. Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter; other political leaders, dignitaries and heads of state that Tito met at least once in his lifetime included Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Yasser Arafat, Willy Brandt, Helmut Schmidt, Georges Pompidou, Queen Elizabeth II, Hua Guofeng, Kim Il Sung, Sukarno, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Suharto, Idi Amin, Haile Selassie, Kenneth Kaunda, Gaddafi, Erich Honecker, Nicolae Ceaușescu, János Kádár and Urho Kekkonen. <SEP> some women in the isle of man (geographically part of the british isles but not part of the united kingdom) gained the right to vote in 1881. though it did not achieve nationhood until 1907, the colony of new zealand was the first self - governing country in the world in which all women had the right to vote in, but not to stand for, parliamentary elections in 1893, followed closely by the colony of south australia in 1894 (which, unlike new zealand, allowed women to stand for parliament). in sweden, conditional women's suffrage was granted during the age of liberty between 1718 and 1772. <SEP> The death of Cleopatra ended the nominal independence of Egypt resulting in Egypt becoming one of the provinces of the Roman Empire. In 332 BC, Macedonian ruler Alexander the Great conquered Egypt as he toppled the Achaemenids and established the Hellenistic Ptolemaic Kingdom, whose first ruler was one of Alexander's former generals, Ptolemy I Soter. The Ptolemies had to fight native rebellions and were involved in foreign and civil wars that led to the decline of the kingdom and its final annexation by Rome. <SEP> The Romans expanded their civilisation to control southern Great Britain but were impeded in advancing any further, building Hadrian's Wall to mark the northern frontier of their empire in 122 AD. At the time of the Roman Empire, about two thousand years ago, various tribes, which spoke Celtic dialects of the Insular Celtic group, were inhabiting the islands. At that time, Ireland was populated by a people known as Hiberni, the northern third or so of Great Britain by a people known as Picts and the southern two thirds by Britons.
