Abstract
In the second part of this study the main migrations of the peoples descending from *Suparsthas and *Swagwautas are reconstructed in Asia and Europe from the second millennium BC to the tenth AD. The role of Etruscan relative peoples in the evolution of Indo-European nations and languages is investigated and highlighted.
In the first part of this study the name *Suparsthas has been reconstructed for the ancestors of the peoples speaking the Proto-Indo-European language, *Parsthas and *Swagwautas, and their related *Suparas and *Thyrgwaunas. By analyzing the ethnonyms of the descendant peoples and the historical attestations on them, traces of the customs and religion of the progenitors have been highlighted. Moreover, the early migrations of the descendant peoples in Asia and Europe have been reconstructed. In this second part we will analyse the heritage of the peoples that diffused in Asia and Europe starting from the second millennium BC.
