Definition

  • Umbrian is an extinct Italic language formerly spoken by the Umbri in the ancient Italian region of Umbria. Within the Italic languages it is closely related to the Oscan group and is therefore associated with it in the group of Osco-Umbrian languages. Since that classification was first formulated a number of other languages in ancient Italy were discovered to be more closely related to Umbrian. Therefore a group was devised to contain them, termed the Umbrian group. In addition to the specific Umbrian language, they are the Volscian language, the Sabine language, the South Picene language, and the Marsian language. The classification used in this article is that of the Linguist List and SIL International.
