{{alphabet}} The '''Celtiberian script''' was used to write the Celtiberian_language, an extinct Continental_Celtic language. The script has been seen in inscriptions dated between the 6th and 1st centuries B.C. It was based on the Iberian_scripts that the Celts encountered among the native people when they came into Iberia from Gaul. Because the existing Iberian_language did not distinguish between voiced and unvoiced consonants, the resulting script was unable to fully express the Celtiberian language. The largest collection of Celtiberian script known is on a set of bronze plaques found at Botorrita, Spain, and dated to the 2nd century BC. ==External links== *The letters of the Celtiberian script *A transcription of a Botorrita plaque *Detailed map of the Pre-Roman Peoples of Iberia (around 200 BC) {{writingsystem-stub}} Category:Spanish_culture Category:Celtic_art
