	Buck's Grammar of Oscan and Umbrian: Introduction
		We must, rather, assume that the Oscans were simply a detached branch of the Samnites, speaking essentially the same language; and the principal reason why this language was called Oscan rather than Samnitic is that it was among the Oscans that the Greeks and Romans first came in contact with it.
		It was the language of the people which gave the Romans the hardest fight for the hegemony of Italy.
		But the Samnites and their language occupy such a preëminent position that they are best grouped by themselves, and we may, for convenience, reserve the name Sabellian for the closely related minor tribes and dialects.
