The Lemnian language was a language spoken on the island of Lemnos in the 6th century BC. It is mainly attested by an inscription found on a funerary stele termed the Lemnos stele discovered in 1885 near Kaminia. Fragments of inscriptions on local pottery show that it was spoken there by a community. In 2009 a newly discovered inscription from Efestia was reported. Lemnian is accepted as being closely related to Etruscan.
