LATINO-PUNIC is the subject of recent posts on Bulbolovo (scroll down past the section on Sabean inscriptions) and Jabal Al-Lughat. Thought for the day: If ancient North African Christians were native speakers of Punic, but wrote in Latin, what if one of them wrote an Old Testament pseudepigraphon? Would the Punic influence make it look to us as though it had been translated from Hebrew and therefore must be a Jewish composition? I worry about things like this.
