The Noric language, or Eastern Celtic, is an unclassified Continental Celtic language. It is attested in only two fragmentary inscriptions from the Roman province of Noricum (one in Grafenstein, Austria, the other in Ptuj, Slovenia). These do not provide enough information to draw conclusions about the language. However, it was probably similar to other Celtic languages near to it, such as Gaulish. No evidence yet shows when it became extinct.

Ptuj inscription

The Ptuj inscription, discovered in 1894, is written right to left in a northern Italic alphabet[1] and reads:

𐌀𐌓𐌕𐌄𐌁𐌖𐌈𐌆𐌁𐌓𐌏𐌙𐌈𐌖𐌉	ARTEBUDZBROGDUI

This is interpreted as two personal names: Artebudz [son] of Brogduos.[2] The name Artebudz may mean "bear penis"[3] (compare Welsh arth "bear" and Irish bod "penis"), while Brogduos may contain the element brog-, mrog- "country"[4] (compare Welsh bro "region, country"). Alternatively, the inscription may be interpreted as Artebudz [made this] for Brogdos, with the second name in the dative case.[5]

Grafenstein inscription

The Grafenstein inscription, on a tile from the 2nd century AD that was discovered in a gravel pit in 1977, is incomplete, but the extant part has been transcribed as follows:[1]

MOGE · ES[

P· II- LAV · EX[
ṆE · SAḌỊÍES[
OLLO · SO · VILO[
ỌNẠ C[…]

OLLO · SO · ? [

P LṾGNṾ · SI

Here, Moge seems to be a personal name or an abbreviation of one, P· II- lav a Latin abbreviation indicating a weight, ne sadiíes a verbal form possibly meaning "you (singular) do not set", ollo so perhaps "this amount", and Lugnu another personal name. The text may therefore be a record of some sort of financial transaction.[1]

Other readings of the inscription have also been proposed, including:

MOGE · ES+[---]

PET(?) LAV · EX[---]
NE · SAMES[---]
OLLO · SO · VILO ·[---]
ONA O(?) + ++

OLLO · SO ·+

+ LVGNI · SI[6]

and

MOGV · CISS [---

PETILAV · IEX[---
NE · SADIIES[---
OLLO · SO · VILO ·[---
ONA DOM...OC[

OLLO · SO · VIA .[

[es] Idioma nórico

La lengua nórica o nórico era una lengua celta continental. Se supone que se hablaba en la región de la posteriormente constituida provincia romana de Nórico. Solo está atestiguada por dos inscriciones fragmentarias que no ofrecen suficiente información para sacar de ellas demasiadas conclusiones sobre la natureza y características de esta lengua.

[fr] Norique (langue)

Le norique était une langue soit celtique ou soit germanique (selon ce que laisse entrevoir le casque de Negau). Il est attesté[réf. souhaitée] dans deux inscriptions fragmentaires de la province romaine de Norique (l'une à Grafenstein en Autriche et l'autre à Ptuj en Slovénie), lesquelles ne fournissent pas assez d'informations pour déterminer la nature exacte de la langue. En raison des faibles données, il est impossible d'avoir une idée de ses réalisations concrètes.

[it] Lingua norica

La lingua norica, conosciuta anche come Celtico orientale, è una lingua celtica continentale ancora in via di classificazione, la cui esistenza è stata comprovata solo da due frammenti di iscrizione, rinvenute in quella che era l'antica provincia romana del Norico (una a Grafenstein in Austria e un'altra a Ptuj in Slovenia), le quali però non forniscono abbastanza informazioni per poter trarre conclusioni certe sulla natura dell'idioma. È stato comunque ipotizzato che il norico possa avere affinità con le altre lingue celtiche che si sono sviluppate nei territori limitrofi, come il gallico e il leponzio. A causa degli scarsi ritrovamenti rinvenuti è molto difficile stabilire il periodo in cui la lingua si è definitivamente estinta.

[ru] Норикский язык

Норикский язык — исчезнувший язык, предположительно относившийся к континентальным кельтским языкам. Засвидетельствован по состоянию на начало XXI в. только двумя фрагментарными надписями из римской провинции Норик (одна найдена в г. Графенштайн в австрийской земле Каринтия, а вторая — в словенском городе Птуй), не позволяющими сделать однозначных выводов о природе языка. Судя по историческим свидетельствам о населении региона, язык должен был быть близок галльскому. Время исчезновения языка неизвестно.
