Unlike Greek and Latin, Etruscan, the third great ancient language of culture in Italy, does not survive in any great literary works.


The Etruscan language is universally accepted as an isolated case. It cannot be shown conclusively to be related to any other language, living or dead, except for a couple of sparsely attested extinct languages.


Etruscan had ceased to be spoken in the time of imperial Rome, though it continued to be studied by priests and scholars.
