 Ancient Scripts: Umbrian
The Umbrians were one of the many nations that inhabited the Italic Peninsula before being absorbed into the growing Roman state.
Umbrian is known primarily from seven bronze tablets called the Iguvine Tablets, so named because they were from the town of Iguvium (modern Gubbio).
For example, Umbrian aves is very close to Latin avis, meaning "bird", although the equivalent declension should be avibus, the plural dative declension.

 Buck's Grammar of Oscan and Umbrian: Preface
In spite of the meagreness of the material, as compared with languages like Greek and Latin, and in spite of the many questions of detail which are still unsolved, the main features of these two dialects are well understood.
The grammar is called a Grammar of Oscan and Umbrian, not of the Oscan-Umbrian dialects, for it does not pretend to treat systematically the minor dialects included under the name Oscan-Umbrian.
And in that approximate sense a grammar of Oscan and Umbrian is also a grammar of Oscan-Umbrian.

  Umbrian Cooking and Wine - DiWineTaste
Umbrian cooking is simple in its definition, it is based on the genuineness of simple things capable of surprising even the palate of the most refined and exacting gourmets.
The predilection of Umbrians to the consumption of cereals and legumes, as well as vegetables, is probably a heritage having its origins in the ancient times of Etruscans, the majestic people which founded Perugia and who established in the left bank of Tiber river until the beginning of the colonization of ancient Romans.
The history and the roots of Umbrian cooking are pretty singular, it could be defined as a cooking which has evolved in an autochthonous way, as it is hard to find influences from the culinary cultures of the bordering regions.

 Maps of Indo-European Languages-Osco-Umbrian   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Umbrian (the upper left circle) was spoken by those Indo-European tribes inhabiting the area north and west of Rome.
Oscan (the lower right circle) was the language spoken by the Samnites and the tribes of the southern Italian peninsula except for the extreme projections of Italy's "heel" and "toe." Both the Oscan and Umbrian languages were very similar to Latin.
Etruscan then died out as a language; Faliscan, Oscan, and Umbrian were probably absorbed into the new Latin-speaking entity, which, under the Roman Empire, spread across Europe.
