This is all from memory so I hope its accurate. My high school latin teacher was a retired professor of classical languages and he explained while we were learning about Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul that the enemy (later to be known as British) painted themselves blue and glued feathers on their bodies. When the Roman soldiers saw them they laughed and commented "bar bar" because bar meant a wild bird which is what they looked like to them. Since then I believe that the word bar has been used together with bird in some ancient languages to designate that the bird is a wild one, so perhaps it was a bit of a play on words by the Romans. Do you know of references were bar is used alone and not barbaros? I have an interesting anecdote on barbarian. This is all from memory so I hope its accurate.

I believe they called them Barbarians because they lived in the forest and were dirty all the time, but I could not find any evidence yet. A other cililization are the (Vandalen, Wnadalen, Vandali, Vandili, Vanduli), what normaly means something like (blind) love to destroy (sort of---fanatics :???: ) but don´t ask me,....teacher, teacher please give me an answer :cry: Hm, I belive that all the northern civilizations got called barbarians, one I´m nearly sure of were the (Goten, Gutonen, Gotonen,… gotisch: gutans ) some of their names.
