===Iberian and Roman Andorra=== [[File:Ann%C3%ADbal,_andosins.png|left|thumb|[[Hannibal]]'s route (red) during the [[Second Punic War]]. The Iberian tribes (green) fought against the [[Ancient Carthage|Carthaginian]] army in the Pyrenees]] The inhabitants of the valleys were traditionally associated with the [[Iberians]] and historically located in Andorra as the Iberian tribe Andosins or Andosini ({{lang|grc|Ἀνδοσίνους}}) during the 7th and 2nd centuries BC. Influenced by the [[Proto-Celtic language|Celtic]], [[Aquitanian language|Aquitanian]], [[Basque language|Basque]] and [[Iberian languages]], the locals developed some current toponyms. Early writings and documents relating to this group of people goes back to the second century BC by the Greek writer [[Polybius]] in his ''Histories'' during the [[Punic Wars]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www15.gencat.net/pres_casa_llengues/mapes/mapes.html?idioma=1&start=cercador|title=Mapes Vius – Linguamon.
