Commentary

Language is a property of inscriptions, words and morphemes, but also of works of secondary literature. Languages of epigraphic texts, obviously, are Etruscan, Raetic, Venetic, Lepontic, Cisalpine Gaulish, Celtic, Camunic and Latin.

Etruscan: A Tyrsenian language, fragmentarily attested mainly in the Etruscan alphabet; an introductory description can be found in Wallace 2008.
Raetic: A Tyrsenian language, fragmentarily attested in the Magrè and Sanzeno alphabets, related to Etruscan. The linguistical ascription of an inscription to Raetic is usually dependent on the presence of certain suffixes; differentiation from Etruscan on purely linguistical grounds may be difficult. See The Raetic language.
Venetic: An Italic (Indo-European) language, fragmentarily attested in the diverse Venetic alphabets; an introductory description can be found in Prosdocimi 1988b.
Lepontic: A Celtic (Indo-European) language, fragmentarily attested in the Lugano alphabet; see the LexLep.
Cisalpine Gaulish: A Celtic (Indo-European) language, fragmentarily attested in the Lugano alphabet; see the LexLep.
Celtic: Cover term for texts written either in Lepontic or Cisalpine Gaulish, between which differentiation may be difficult.
Camunic: A fragmentarily attested language of doubtful attribution (possibly isolated), documented mainly in the Camunic rock alphabet.
Latin: Latin.

Unknown is used when there is insufficient data to ascribe a text to a certain language, and also in cases of inscriptions of doubtful status, i.e. when it is not certain that the inscription has any linguistic content at all. None indicates that the marks in question are, with a high degree of probability, ornamental or unintentional.
