Cubellian continued to be spoken well into the Roman empire, though evidence shows that it was being slowly being replaced by the use of Latin already by the 1st century. Cubellian remained spoken as a native language at least until around the 4th century when the youngest non-religious Cubellian text is dated to. Cubellian remained in limited use as a religious language for at least some centuries, as works from the 7th century describe ritual songs and prayers in Cubellian. It is however likely that at that point knowledge of the language was limited and fading. The last known attestation of Cubellian in any form is from an 8th century text.
