There is little record of the Sabine language; however, there are some [[glosses]] by ancient commentators, and one or two inscriptions have been tentatively identified as Sabine. There are also personal names in use on Latin inscriptions from the Sabine country, but these are given in Latin form. [[Robert Seymour Conway]], in his ''Italic Dialects'', gives approximately 100 words which vary from being well-attested as Sabine to being possibly of Sabine origin. In addition to these he cites place names derived from the Sabine, sometimes giving attempts at reconstructions of the Sabine form.<ref>{{cite book|first=Robert Seymour|last=Conway|author-link=Robert Seymour Conway|title=The Italic Dialects Edited with a Grammar and Glossary|url=https://archive.org/details/italicdialectsed02conw|location=Cambridge|publisher=University Press|year=1897|pages=351–369}}</ref> Based on all the evidence, the [[Linguist List]] tentatively classifies Sabine as a member of the [[Umbrian language|Umbrian]] group of [[Italic languages]] of the [[Indo-European family]], while [[Glottolog]] classifies it as an Old Sabellic dialect alongside [[South Picene language|South Picene]] and [[Pre-Samnite language|Pre-Samnite]].
