'''Cubellian''' (''Faƨ Totas'' or simply ''Cubrio''), also known as '''Cibellinian''' or '''Cubrian''' is an extinct [[w:Osco-Umbrian languages|Sabellic]] language attested in central Italy. Historically a language of interest for scholars, who couldn't seem to agree wether Cubellian belonged to the [[w:Oscan language|Oscan]] or [[w:Umbrian language|Umbrian]] dialect group, as it exhibits features found in both languages as well as some interesting innovations. The modern academic consensus views Cubellian as more closely related to Umbrian than to Oscan, mainly due to similarities in vocabulary and certain aspects of the verbal and nominal systems, though it might still represent an early split from core-Umbrian. Given its geographical position, It was thought in the past that Cubellian might have represented an intermediate language between Oscan and Umbrian, however this is no longer believed to be true. It has also been controversially suggested that Cubellian might be most closerly related to [[w:South Picene language|South Picene]]. | '''Cubellian''' (''Faƨ Totas'' or simply ''Cubrio''), also known as '''Cibellinian''' or '''Cubrian''' is an extinct [[w:Osco-Umbrian languages|Sabellic]] language attested in central Italy.
