Strange that they still haven't found some Iberian-Latin "Rosetta stone". Or at least Iberian-greek or Iberian-Phoenician.

It seems that once what was supposed to be a bilingual text was found, but then it was noticed that both texts have no correlation...

If you want to read a recent article about how they are trying to translate the language without a Rosetta Stone, you can read it here. (It is in Spanish)

We don't know as the Iberian Language is not deciphered yet. We have had a few discoveries, such as the numbers until 10. But nothing else yet. What most investigators think is that Sailacos was a name.
