| has gloss | eng: The Punics (from Latin pūnicus meaning Phoenician) were a group of western Semitic-speaking peoples originating from Carthage in North Africa who traced their origins to a group of Phoenician and Cypriot settlers, but also to North African Berbers. Punics were probably a mix of Berbers and Phoenicians in terms of culture and ancestry. Contrary to other Phoenicians, Punics had a landowning aristocracy who established a rule of the hinterland in Northern Africa and trans-Sahara traderoutes. In later times one of these clans conquered a Hellenistic-inspired empire in Iberia, possibly having a foothold in western Gaul. Like other Phoenician people their urbanized culture and economy was strongly linked to the sea. Overseas they established control over coastal regions of the Maghreb, Tripolitania, Sardinia, Corsica, Sicily, the Baleares, Malta, other small islands of the Western Mediterranean and possibly along the Atlantic coast of Iberia, although this is disputed. |

| has gloss | hbs: Puni je izraz koji od latinske riječi punicus koja je označavala Feničane, a pod kojim se podrazumijeva drevni narod semitskog porijekla koji je živio na zapadnim obalama Mediterana u antičko doba. Puni su bili porijeklom iz Fenicije, odnosno potomci feničanskih kolonista iz Levanta i Cipra koji su početkom 1. milenijuma pne. osnovali niz novih gradova na obalama Sjeverne Afrike, Siciliji, Sardiniji, Korzici, Balearima, Malti i obalama današnje Španije. Od svih tih kolonija najuspješnija je bila Kartagina, koja je s vremenom postala dominatna država Zapadnog Mediterana, pa je izraz "Puni" s vremenom postao sinonim za Kartaginjane. |
