	Old Italic alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The "Alphabet of Lugano" was used to record Lepontic inscriptions, among the oldest testimonies of any Celtic language, in use from the 7th to the 5th centuries BC.
		The alphabets derive from Euboean Greek Cumaean alphabet, used at Ischia and Cumae in the Bay of Naples in the eighth century BC.
		This classical alphabet remained in use until the 2nd century BC when it began to be contaminated by the rise of the Latin alphabet.

	Gaulish language - Enpsychlopedia
		The alphabet of Lugano used in Gallia Cisalpina for Lepontic :
		The earliest Gaulish inscriptions, dating to as early as the 6th century BC, are in the Lepontic dialect, found in Gallia Cisalpina and were written in a form of the Old Italic alphabet.
		Inscriptions in the Greek alphabet are found from the 3rd century BC, especially in the area near the mouths of the Rhone, while later inscriptions dating to Roman Gaul are mostly in the Latin alphabet.

	Glozel, Bones of Contention - The Writing
		At the same time, a northern Etruscan alphabet related to the alphabet of Lugano was imported into Transalpine Gaul, where the Glozel engravers created their primary alphabet about 300 BC.
		In comparing the Glozel inscriptions with these written languages, one finds close relationships with the Celtic texts from Transalpine Gaul (Gallo-Greek and Gallo-Latin), with the Celtic inscriptions (Lepontic and Cisalpine Gaulish) in use in Cisalpine Gaul (the north of Italy and southern Switzerland), as well as with the Greek, Etruscan, and Latin alphabets.
		I have reached the conclusion that a great number of the Glozel signs represent letters which are similar to letters in related alphabets in use from the Iron Age to the Gallo-Roman period.

	Lepontic language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The language is only known from a few inscriptions discovered that were written in a variety of the Northern Italic alphabet, which was related to the Old Italic alphabet.
		Lepontic is an extinct Celtic language, the language of the Lepontii, that was spoken in the area of Gallia Cisalpina between 700 BC and 400 BC.
		The grouping of all of these inscriptions into a single Celtic language has been disputed, and some are said to be in a non-Celtic language related to Ligurian (Whatmough 1933, Pisani 1964).
