		The exclusion of such languages from this report is not intended to imply any bias whatsoever against such “immigrant” languages or their speakers.
		For each language, first the name of the language is given in English, followed by the original name of the language in its natural spelling, with a transliteration into Latin letters in parentheses where the original language does not use the Latin script.
		In some cases, especially in the case of the “lesser-used” languages, this information may have been inferred from the preferred quotation marks used by a “dominant” language in the area in which the “lesser-used” language is found.

		It is implausible, for instance, that a meaningful classification and description of the Italic language family could have been achieved solely from a list of Italian place and personal names, let alone details of the variations between Latin and Umbrian.
		If a language bearing strong affinities to Italic had subsisted in the Balkan peninsula, whether that were a previously unknown survival of an Italic language there or known entities such as Traco-Dacian, the scanty inscriptions understood as Thracian or Dacian should be reassessed to see if an Italic language makes more sense of them.
