Umbrian, an Italic Language , is a dead 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 by far largest one of them is called the '' Tabulae Iguvinae '' (Iguvium = modern Gubbio ), seven Bronze plates which contain some notes on the ceremonies and Statute s for Priest s. 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 ; it is not very distinctive as compared say to Sicilian or Milanese. |
