Paleo-Hispanic languages

In the League of Lost Languages, the Iberian peninsula are home to several families of languages. These languages are grouped together as Paleo-Hispanic languages, although they do not form a single family. The Paleo-hispanic languages were the languages of the Pre-Roman peoples of the Iberian Peninsula, excluding languages of foreign colonies, such as Greek and Phoenician. In our world, after the Roman conquest of Hispania the Paleo-hispanic languages, with the exception of Proto-Basque, were replaced by Latin, the ancestor of the modern Iberian Romance languages. Some of these languages were documented directly through inscriptions, mainly in Paleo-hispanic scripts, that date for sure between the 500 BC, maybe from the 700 BC in the opinion of some researchers, until the 100 BC or the 100 AD. Other Paleo-hispanic languages can only be identified indirectly through toponyms, anthroponyms or theonyms cited by Roman and Greek sources.
