Paleohispanic languages

Okay kiddo, so there were people who lived in Spain a very long time ago and they spoke languages that were different from the Spanish we know today. These are called paleohispanic languages.

Some of these languages had really cool inscriptions on rocks and metal pieces that were found by archeologists. Some of the inscriptions were drawings of animals or things like that, while others were bunches of lines and shapes that were letters.

But these languages are really old, so we don't know exactly how they sounded or all the words they used. It's like trying to figure out what an ancient puzzle means, but without all the pieces to put it together.

It's important to learn about these paleohispanic languages, because they were spoken by people who lived in Spain a really long time ago and they're a part of the country's history and culture. Plus, it's just really cool to learn about how people communicated a long time ago!
