I don't remember to have already seen this subject here. Noneless, this is one of the greatest mysteries of the european linguistic. Does it come from indo-europeans ? I think that all the comparisons say no. Does it come from precedent peoples or some unknown invaders ? Is there a link with basque or other languages ?
Etruscan : where does come their language ?
No link or relation of any kind to any other language spoken in Europe, but possibly distantly related to Indo-European languages. Possibly related to the Anatolian branch, according to wikipedia
However the knowledge about this language is incomplete, no solid evidence have been found to help us understand and classify it.
Regards

The ancients (like Herodotus and the like) said that these people had come from the Aegean. Suffice it to say, Anatolia is partly in the Aegean, so I would not doubt if they had arrived from there. Or maybe, just maybe...they were a Phoenician colony.

Etruscan that is mean "sons of the Judge in charge of eastern territories of the world" in Chinchewese (Peh-oe-ji: Choan-chiu-oe; a vernacular of Hokkienese). Etruscan was ancient invaders from the territories of sunrise.

I think it is just a neolithic language, like many before the "indo-european" invasions : basque-iber, ligurian, maybe picts (?), and maybe afro-asiatic languages (i read it somewhere)...

Yes, Etruscan is a neolithic language. Some Latin culture such as private house building may be copy from Etruscan.

Icelandic - Old Norse calendar:
Gormánuður (means mid October to mid November; "slaughter month" or "Gór's month")
Anglo-Saxon calendar:
Blōtmōnaþ (means November; "Blót's month" or "slaughter month")
Anglo-Saxon / Hokkienese (peh-oe-ji):
blōt / pou or pou-thau (pronounce as bou or bou-tau, means axe.)
Old Norse / Hokkienese (peh-oe-ji):
gór / kou (pronounce as gor, means young male animals.)
When we compare Old Norse, Anglo-Saxon and Hokkienese that tell us the ancient people would slaughter the young male animals in the months from mid October to mid November and using the axe to slaughter. That time may be a hunting society.
