I know I have, or at least have seen, a grammar
sketch of Oscan and Umbrian in German (if you
can't read German, at least you can make sense of
the paradigms).

I also have H.H. Janssen's "Oscan and Umbrian
Inscriptions with a Latin Translation". Be sure
to find Palmer's "The Latin Language" as well.
