ATTACOTTIC Meaning and
Definition
-
Attacottic is a term that is, at times, used to describe an ancient British language or dialect commonly spoken in the region now known as Scotland. This term is primarily associated with the Attacotti, an enigmatic people of uncertain origin who occupied parts of Scotland during the early medieval period, possibly in the vicinity of the modern-day region of Argyll. As a language, Attacottic is poorly attested and remains largely hypothetical due to the scarcity of textual evidence. The limited information available suggests that it was likely a Celtic language, potentially related to Pictish or a sister language to Brittonic, which was spoken by the Britons in what is now Wales and southern England.
However, due to the paucity of written records and the gradual assimilation of the Attacotti into other cultures, it is challenging to establish a definitive linguistic classification for Attacottic. Scholars continue to debate its nature, classification, and characteristics, and more research is needed to shed further light on this intriguing language. The term "Attacottic" is therefore often used in a broader sense to refer to the linguistic heritage of the Attacotti, encompassing the varied languages and dialects that were spoken in the region during the early medieval period.
