The Sabine language was spoken in ancient Italy by the Sabines who settled in central Italy . It belongs to the Italian languages.

Lore

The language of the Sabines is not documented in writing. Although an inscription on a Cippus from Foruli was viewed by Vetter as Sabine, the assignment of this inscription to the Sabine is described by Rix as an "embarrassing solution ", since it could also be a late inscription in South Piken . Coleman sees this as more of a vestinian inscription. Untermann lists the words handed down in this inscription as vestinic in his dictionary.

On the other hand, some glosses and loanwords have been preserved in Latin, in particular through the writings of Varro , Sextus Pompeius Festus and Maurus Servius Honoratus .
