The Liburnian language is an extinct language that was formerly spoken by the Liburnians along today's Croatian Adriatic coast.
There are no written records of the Liburnian language, so that only a few toponyms and anthroponyms can be used to infer the language. On the basis of these names, some researchers suspect a closer relationship with the Venetian language and thus belonging to the Indo-European language family ; however, this relationship has not yet been proven.
