Ancient Scripts: Umbrian (482 words)
The Umbrians were one of the many nations that inhabited the Italic Peninsula before being absorbed into the growing Roman state.
Umbrian is known primarily from seven bronze tablets called the Iguvine Tablets, so named because they were from the town of Iguvium (modern Gubbio).
For example, Umbrian aves is very close to Latin avis, meaning "bird", although the equivalent declension should be avibus, the plural dative declension.
