DEF

Langue indo-européenne parlée dans le nord-est de l'Italie avant l'ère chrétienne. On connaît le vénète par environ 500 courtes inscriptions, funéraires ou votives, qui s'échelonnent entre le Vième et le 1er siècle avant Jésus-Christ. Ces textes sont écrits grâce à un alphabet spécial, une adaptation d'une écriture étrusque dont l'origine est encore obscure. Certains linguistes font du vénète une langue du groupe italique alors que d'autres en font une langue indépendante rattachée au groupe illyrien.
