Thracians
The Thracians (; ''Thrāikes'', (ラテン語:Thraci)) were a group of Indo-European tribes inhabiting a large area in Southeastern Europe. They spoke the Thracian language – a scarcely attested branch of the Indo-European language family. The study of Thracians and Thracian culture is known as Thracology.
==Etymology==
The first historical record about the Thracians is found in the ''Iliad'', where they are described as allies of the Trojans in the Trojan War against the Greeks. The ethnonym ''Thracian'' comes from Ancient Greek Θρᾷξ (plural Θρᾷκες; , ) or Θρᾴκιος/Ionic: Θρηίκιος (/), and the toponym Thrace comes from Θρᾴκη/Ion.: Θρῄκη (/).〔(Navicula Bacchi – Θρηικίη ) (Accessed: October 13, 2008).〕 These forms are all exonyms as applied by the Greeks.〔John Boardman, I.E.S. Edwards, E. Sollberger, and N.G.L. Hammond. ''The Cambridge Ancient History, Volume 3, Part 2: The Assyrian and Babylonian Empires and Other States of the Near East, from the Eighth to the Sixth Centuries BC''. Cambridge University Press, 1992, p. 597. "We have no way of knowing what the Thracians called themselves and if indeed they had a common name... Thus the name of Thracians and that of their country were given by the Greeks to a group of tribes occupying the territory..."〕
