Faliscan is an ancient language that was spoken in the region of Falisci, located near modern-day Lazio in Italy. It is part of the Italic branch of the Indo-European language family and is closely related to Latin. The Faliscan language is primarily known from inscriptions and a few literary fragments, which provide insights into the culture and society of the Falisci people. The Faliscan people were known for their settlements, particularly the city of Falerii, which played a significant role in the history of central Italy. Although Faliscan eventually declined as Latin became dominant, it remains an important subject of study for linguists and historians interested in the development of languages in ancient Italy.
