The Etruscan language was spoken and written by the Etruscan civilization in present day Italy, in the ancient region of Etruria (modern Tuscany plus western Umbria and northern Latium) and in parts of Lombardy, Veneto, and Emilia-Romagna (where the Etruscans were displaced by Gauls). Latin, however, superseded Etruscan completely, leaving only a few documents and a few loanwords in Latin e.g., persona from Etruscan φersu, and some place-names, such as Roma.
