The Raeti (spelling variants: Rhaeti, Rheti or Rhaetii; Ancient Greek: Ραιτοί: transcription Retí) were a confederation of Alpine tribes, whose language and culture may have derived, at least in part, from the Etruscans. From not later than ca. 500 BC, they inhabited the central parts of present-day Switzerland, the Tyrol in Austria, and the Alpine regions of northeastern Italy.
