Etruscan language
The Etruscan language was spoken and written by the Etruscan civilization, in what is present-day Italy, in the ancient region of Etruria and in parts of Lombardy, Veneto, and Emilia-Romagna. Etruscan influenced Latin, but was eventually completely superseded by it. Although it left only a few significant documents, and a few dozen loanwords, such as the name Roma, its influence was significant. Attested from 700 BC to 50 AD, the language has historically been referred to as an isolate, but consensus now holds it forms part of the close-knit Tyrsenian language family, along with the Rhaetic language of the Alps and the Lemnian language of the Aegean island of Lemnos. Lacking large corpora or extended texts, more distant relations of that family are unclear. A connection to the Anatolian languages, or, at a further remove, to Proto-Indo-European has been suggested, while Russian scholars have suggested a link to the highly speculative Dené–Caucasian macro-phylum, which itself is not widely credited. Grammatically, the language is agglutinating, with nouns and verbs showing suffixed inflectional endings and ablaut in some cases. Nouns show four cases; singular and plural number, and a masculine and feminine gender. Phonologically Etruscan appears uncomplicated, with a four vowel system and an apparent contrast between aspirated and unaspirated stops. The language shows phonetic change over time, with the loss and then reestablishment of word-internal vowels due to the effect of Etruscan's strong word-initial stress.
