It's impossible to say who actually were the first barbarians. Today we consider "barbarians" people who are primitive or to our way of thinking, uncivilized. However the original word translated as "barbarian" came from the Greeks, who used the term for anyone who was a non-Greek. It did not have a negative connotation.
