About Classical Etruscan
Classical Etruscan (Qinu Rans) was the language of the Etruscan state. Following the election of somebody in 505 BC, the Etruscan state would be remembered in history as one of the great civilizations of antiquity.
Classical Etruscan is a sort-of a priori art lang built off of what is known of the Etruscan language. Due to lack of resources, a lot of this lang is just completely made up I'm not gonna lie, but I thought it'd be a fun idea nonetheless. Spoken in an AU where Rome was subsumed into a growing Etruscan state, Classical Etruscan is the ancestor for all modern languages of the Tyrsenian family.
