Monumenta Linguarum Hispanicarum
''Monumenta Linguarum Hispanicarum'' (Latin for "Records of the Hispanic Languages") is a series which compiles material relating to the paleo-Hispanic languages (languages spoken in Iberia before Latin). Begun in the 1960s and the first volume published in 1975, the series was intended to supplant Emil Hübner's ''Monumenta Linguae Ibericae'' (1893). The volumes are largely the editorial work of Jürgen Untermann (1928–2013). The sixth volume, published in 2018, was edited posthumously from Untermann's notes. The series was completed in 2019 with the publication of a lexicon of the Iberian language.

After the Roman conquest of Hispania the Paleohispanic languages, with the exception of Proto-Basque, were replaced by Latin, the ancestor of the modern Iberian Romance languages. Languages Some of these languages were documented directly through inscriptions, mainly in Paleohispanic scripts, that date for sure between the 5th century BC, maybe from the 7th century in the opinion of some researchers, until the end of the 1st century BC or the beginning of the 1st century AD. * Vasconic languages ** Proto-Basque — Unattested, partially reconstructed through internal analysis of modern Basque. Proto-Basque is also the ancestor or sibling of the Aquitanian language (see below). ** Aquitanian — Close relative of modern Basque. Some scholars characterise Aquitania ...
