1. The KJV calls them "barbarians." This term was a reference to their language. All tribes or groups which did not speak Latin (Roman language) or Greek (common language of the empire) - then they must be barbarians. This word is used in Romans 1:14, where Paul says he is a debtor to the Greeks and barbarians.
