Southwest inscriptions have been found mainly in the southwestern quadrant of the Iberian Peninsula , in the south of Portugal Algarve and southern Alentejo , but also in Spain , in southern Extremadura and western Andalucia . Name of the script The name of this script is very controversial. The more neutral name is southwestern, because it refers only to the geographical location where the inscriptions had been found, but it needs some additional precision in a general context. Some researchers name this script Tartessian considering this script the script of Tartessos . Others prefer to name this script as South Lusitanian, because almost all the southwestern inscriptions have been found in the south of Portugal an area included in the Roman province of Lusitania , where the Ancient Greece Greek and Ancient Rome Roman sources locate the Pre Roman peoples of the Iberian Peninsula Pre Roman Cynetes Conii or Cynetes people, instead in the zone generally considered Tartessian between Huelva and the Guadalquivir valley . But on the other hand, the name South Lusitanian is inconvenient, as it may wrongly suggest a relation with the Lusitanian language .
