Barbarian, BarbaroitH, Barbaric, unlettered, uncultivated, 
untutored, ignorant. Barbarian applies to whatever per- 
tains to the life of an uncivilized people, without special 
reference to its moral aspects. Barbarous properly ex- 
presses the bad side of barbarian life and character, espe- 
cially its inhumanity or cruelty : as, a barbarous act. Bar- 
baric expresses the characteristic love of barbarians for 
adornment, magnificence, noise, etc., but it is not com- 
monly applied to persons ; it implies the lack of culti- 
vated taste : as, barbaric music ; barbaric splendor. Bar- 
barian and barbaric are now strictly confined to the 
meanings named above. 
This barbarian tongue raises him far above what he 
could have become had he never learned to speak at all.
