Actually, that were the Greek and with barbarian (βαρβαρος) they meant every non-Greek. The Romans took this word over from the Greek (like almost everything) but they also gave it the current negative connotation.
-
Barbarians was the name the Romans called people from the different Germanic tribes of Europe as, to them, the languages they spoke sounded a lot like they were going "bar-bar" a lot... hence the name "bar-bar-ian".

It depends from which peoples , Romans called someone barbarian because they weren't like them , big temples , orgy and so on , greek called other barbarian because they didn't speak greek , Gaul barian because they used to eat the heart of their victims , people called celt barbarians because they peinted their body for the battles , because of the way to chose their chiefs ( gauls ) and their savage side when it come to fight .

I'll handle this.

@bfure1 also true but nowadays people use it as a reference for something ''unicivilized''.
-
i was taught that Barbarian simply meant "from the North" or along those lines
dunno if that fully correct though

@BabyVegeta9000 your welcome and thats good :)

@dinonuke1102 Thank you for clearing it up for me, but I do not judge anyone for their way of living. =)

@BabyVegeta9000 actually i would not call vikings barbaric just because of their different way of living(might have something to do with im danish). you could call the romans barbaric too the way they treated other people and forced slaves to battle in arenas. dont take any of this wrong as an insult, rage etc. but i just hope you dont judge the vikings for their way. :)
immediate music is the best ♥
