Cubellian remained spoken as a native language at least until around the 2th century when the youngest non-religious Cubellian text is dated to. Cubellian remained in limited use as a religious language by some for at least a couple of centuries, as works from the 3th century describe ritual songs and prayers in Cubellian, by then known as '''Lingua Civa'''. 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 5th century text. | ||
