We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Subject:  the Ligurian language

In a book about Etruscans, I read that Ligurian is one of 3
Non-indoeuropean languages spoken by peoples living in the Italian
pennisula. I've also read about a relatioship between Monagasque
tounge of Monaco and Ligurian. Is the Ligurian language completely
extinct? If not, are there established communities along the Riviera
where it is spoken. Another thing I want to ask about is whether there
is any link between Etruscan and Ligurian.
