Osco-Umbrian Sabellian (
Sabellic) is a group of languages of the
Italic language family of the
Indo-European languages. They were spoken in central and southern
Italy before
Latin replaced them as the power of the
Romans expanded. They are known almost exclusively through inscriptions, principally of
Oscan and
Umbrian, though there are also some Osco-Umbrian loanwords in Latin.
