i've seen the peoples speaking italic languages being referred to as italic peoples. i still don't know much about these peoples besides the romans, though. Gringo300 11:00, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Relation between [Romance_languages] and [Italic_languages]?
Acconding to the entry on romance languages, it's a subfamily of italic language, but the italic language page thosen't mention them. Which one is right?
- Yes, they are mentioned:
- As Rome extended its political dominion over the whole of the Italian peninsula, so too did Latin become dominant over the other Italic languages, which ceased to be spoken perhaps sometime in the 1st century AD. From so-called Vulgar Latin the Romance languages emerged. bogdan ʤjuʃkə | Talk 16:12, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
The page presents Italo-Celtic as a fact when actually it's more of a hypothesis (and though I'm no expert, I don't think it's a particularly popular hypothesis any more.) Seems like it should hedge that a bit or something.Excalibre 06:53, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
