Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

Tartessian alphabet vs. semi-syllabary.[edit]

Hi Tautintanes,

Although typologically intermediate between a pure alphabet and a semi-syllbary, I believe that Tartessian remains technically an alphabet, since it indicates each vowel distinctly. Perhaps a redundant alphabet; I wouldn't call it inefficient, because redundancy can be quite efficient: With consonant and vowel letters reinforcing each other, it in effect contained an error correction mechanism. kwami (talk) 00:38, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reworded to avoid the issue. There isn't much point in classifying intermediate scripts like this. kwami (talk) 01:58, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As a 'layman' in this respect, I think some comparison with the script system of Karthago as well as Nordic runic script could be interesting (if somebody know about if or has valid references). To me the resemblance with runic script is obvious here. I have also read somewhere that runic may be derived from Karthagian script. But maybe rather it could orgine from the Biscay/currrent Basque/Asturian etc. areas of Northern Spain. There were trade routes from this area to Scandinavia during the late Stone and Bronze Ages I believe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.68.179.250 (talk) 14:12, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Joke, isn't it?[edit]

At the end of the second paragraph on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleohispanic_scripts#Tartessian here, we read in parentheses: "This Etruscan convention is preserved in the English, not only in qu for queen, but also the letter names cee, kay, cue/qu."

I am fairly well convinced that this is merely a joke, but on the off-chance that Etruscan letter names influenced Latin letter names, reflected in later letter names--and because if it's a joke it's a clever one!--I'm merely adding this comment rather than deleting the sentence.
