Sorothaptic (Spanish: sorotáptico Catalan: sorotàptic from Greek σορός sorós ‘funerary urn’ and θαπτός thaptós ‘buried’) is a name coined by Catalan scholar Joan Coromines for the hypothetical language of the presumably Indo-European but pre-Celtic Bronze Age people of the Urnfield culture in the Iberian Peninsula (Price 2000:449). Coromines used the concept of Sorothaptic to explain problematic words in the Iberian Romance languages.
