Dacian (/ˈdeɪʃən/) is an extinct language generally believed to be a member of the Indo-European language family that was spoken in the ancient region of Dacia.
The Dacian language is poorly documented. Unlike Phrygian, which is documented by c. 200 inscriptions, only one Dacian inscription is believed to have survived.[2][3] The Dacian names for a number of medicinal plants and herbs may survive in ancient literary texts,[4][5] including about 60 plant-names in Dioscorides.[6] About 1,150 personal names[3][7] and 900 toponyms may also be of Dacian origin.[3] Of about 100 Dacian words reconstructed through 20th century comparative linguistics techniques, only 20–25 had achieved wide acceptance by 1982.[8]
