(Redirected from Umbrian)
'Umbrian' is an extinct Italic language formerly spoken in the ancient Italian region of Umbria. Its speakers were known as the Umbri.
Umbrian is known from about 30 inscriptions. The largest one of them by far is called the ''Tabulae Iguvinae'' (Iguvium = modern Gubbio), seven bronze plates which contain some notes on the ceremonies and statutes for priests. These are written in the Old Italic alphabet. The inscriptions are dated from the 7th through 1st centuries BC.
Currently, the term is used to indicate a regional dialect of the Italian language.
