The present dictionary reflects, and sums up, 25 years of activity in the field of comparative linguistics, mainly referring to the archaic languages once spoken in Europe. Beyond any doubt, the investigation of the Thracian (and Illyrian) heritage in southeast Europe has had its tortuous, meandering, often difficult achievements. Brilliantly initiated by B. P. Hasdeu in the second half of the 19th century, linguistic thracology had a long break until the 1950’s, when it was resumed in both Romania and abroad, mainly in Bulgaria, with remarkable results, but also with failures and – not rarely – confuse conclusions.
