Ligurian—more exactly Ancient Ligurian—is a disappeared language that was mainly spoken in Antiquity in what is nowadays Provence and Liguria, and perhaps initially in a larger territory. It is now classified by most linguists as an intermediary Indo-European language between Celtic languages and Italic languages[1]. Ancient Ligurian should not be confused with Romance Ligurian, a living Northern Italian dialect and a wholly different variety.
