The language is also the namesake of the language group to which it belonged. Oscan was spoken by a number of tribes, including the Samnites, the Aurunci, the Sidicini, and the Ausones. The latter three tribes were often grouped under the name Osci. The Oscan group is part of the Osco-Umbrian or Sabellic family, and includes the Oscan language and three variants known only from inscriptions left by the Hernici, Marrucini and Paeligni, minor tribes of eastern central Italy. The language was spoken from approximately 500 BCE to 100 CE.
