South Picene is the pre-Roman language spoken in the Adriatic
sector of central Italy. This book presents a description of what
we know about the structure of this language. South Picene is
(together with Umbrian, Oscan, Latin, and Faliscan) one of the few
members of the Italic branch of the Indo-European family and is
also one of the European languages with the oldest existing texts
(550 BCE). Besides a grammatical outline of the language, the book
contains the linguistic (and often stylistic) analysis of all the
21 inscriptions that compose the South Picene epigraphic corpus and
a word list. South Picene will be of interest to students and
scholars of Indo-European languages, Italic languages, and in
general, ancient languages of the Italian peninsula.
