'''Umbrian''' is an [[language death|extinct]] [[Italic languages|Italic language]] formerly spoken by the [[Umbri]] in the ancient [[Italy|Italian]] region of [[Regio VI Umbria|Umbria]]. Within the [[Italic languages]] it is closely related to the [[Oscan language|Oscan]] group and is therefore associated with it in the group of [[Osco-Umbrian languages]], a term generally replaced by Sabellic in modern scholarship. 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, the Umbrian languages, was devised to contain them.
