Abstract

This article aims to show the importance of going back to the methodological debate as a necessary step before studying the regional diversification of Latin. To do so, linguistic data from inscriptional evidence of two territories in Hispania have been submitted to the three statistical methods that have been put forward so far. The huge differences in the results set it clear that it is fundamental to identify which one is the most reliable method.
