The group is meant to expand these findings. I have been conducting a historical comparative study of Guanche to Indo-Iranian and Dravidian languages, such as Sanskrit and Tamil, respectively. To see more about the research involving Guanche, please refer to the description in the Facebook group. Much of the writing in the group is in Spanish, but English comments are welcome. Please feel free to join and to invite other colleagues to join this Facebook group, if it is of your interest. Anybody, academic or not, with any interest in or knowledge of the Guanche language is invited to participate and contribute to this group. In fact, I would much appreciate receiving help from experts in Sanskrit, Tamil, and Brahmi Script, in order to translate Guanche rock carving texts. I have deciphered some on my own, but I am not absolutely sure of my abilities in this field.
