astures

This is about the ancient European tribe. For an article about the font, see Astur (typeface).The Astures were the original Indo-European inhabitants of the northwest area of Hispania that now comprises the modern autonomous community of Asturias and the modern provinces León, west of Lugo, Ourense, and northern Zamora (all in Spain), and west of Trás os Montes in Portugal. The name was used until the foundation of the Kingdom of Asturias. They spoke a Q-Celtic tongue. Most of their peoples, like the Luggones, worshipped the Celtic god Lugh, and references to other Celtic deities like Taranis or Belenos still remain in the toponomy of the places inhabitated by the Astures in Asturias. Other scholars believe they were related to Ligures.
