List of ancient Ligurian tribes

The Ligures (singular Ligus or Ligur; English: Ligurians) were an ancient Indo-European people who appear to have originated in, and gave their name to, Liguria, a region of north-western Italy.

[1] Elements of the Ligures appear to have migrated to other areas of western Europe, including the Iberian Peninsula.

They dwelt in southeastern Transalpine Gaul and northwestern Cisalpine Gaul, mainly in the Western Alps regions, Rhodanus eastern basin and upper Po river basin.

In the islands of Corsica and far northern Sardinia dwelt a group of tribes called Corsi (Ancient Corsicans or Paleo-Corsicans) that may have been related to the Ligures or part of them.

They dwelt at the extreme northeast of Sardinia, in the region today known as Gallura.
