Just checked in a textbook on IE languages I have.  Faliscan is
given as a "Latin variant with strong 'rustic' connotations (due to
Umbrian interferences)."  I seem to understand that this statement
is not uncontroversial, though.

It is interesting to note, anyway, that this piece of information
comes from the chapter on Italic languages, not Latin, although the
latter has a section dedicated to the early sources of the language
(in this section, BTW, the so-called _fibula praenestina_ is
dismissed as a now unanimously recognized false).
