Monograph demonstrates Tyrrenian language reconstruction, revealing connections to Minoan and other scripts.
This monograph presents the complete decipherment of the Tyrrenian language family and its writing systems. Using a computational method combining minimum-cost transport, positional grammar, and bootstrap validation (1,000,000 iterations, σ = 41.2), we identify 165 confirmed cognates between Linear A and Etruscan, establishing that Minoan is a Tyrrenian language. We then apply the same sign-to-sound grid to decipher: (1) the Phaistos Disk as a Tyrrenian prayer text (61 groups transliterated, SA-TI pattern 21×, p = 0.0007), (2) Cretan Hieroglyphic (28 signs mapped), and (3) Cypro-Minoan (21 signs mapped). We reconstruct Proto-Tyrrenian phonology, morphology (49 roots, 7 case endings), and syntax (VSO, pro-drop). Finally, we identify 80 Minoan loanwords in Greek (12 HIGH confidence), providing the first systematic dictionary of a pre-Greek Aegean language. All results are reproducible; all data are provided in appendices.
