South Picene is an extinct Italic language belonging to the Sabellic subfamily. It is considered by SIL International to belong to the Umbrian Group although in the long history of its attempted classification it has been placed at a higher level parallel to Oscan and Umbrian within Sabellic or even higher parallel to Sabellic within Italic. It is apparently unrelated to the as yet undeciphered North Picene language.
