Eteocretan Language
Ectocretan was a language, or group of languages, dominant in ancient Crete prior to Mycenaean Greek. During the Minoan civilization, it was recorded in administrative and religious hieroglyphic and Linear A inscriptions. Numerous attempts have been made to ascertain its linguistic affiliation, however it remains an unclassified language and its relationship with Greek is unknown.
Famous quotes containing the word language:
“Both the Moral Majority, who are recycling medieval language to explain AIDS, and those ultra-leftists who attribute AIDS to some sort of conspiracy, have a clearly political analysis of the epidemic. But even if one attributes its cause to a microorganism rather than the wrath of God, or the workings of the CIA, it is clear that the way in which AIDS has been perceived, conceptualized, imagined, researched and financed makes this the most political of diseases.”
—Dennis Altman (b. 1943)
