Eastern Lombard is a group of closely related variants of Lombard, a Gallo-Italic dialect spoken in Lombardy, mainly in the provinces of Bergamo, Brescia and Mantua, in the area around Cremona and in parts of Trentino. Its main variants are Bergamasque and Brescian. In Italian-speaking contexts, Eastern Lombard is often generically called a "dialect", understood as to mean a dialect of Italian, while some claim it is not a dialect but a language. Eastern Lombard and Italian have only limited mutual intelligibility as is the case for many Italian dialects. Eastern Lombard does not have any official status either in Lombardy or anywhere else: the only official language in Lombardy is Italian. Classification Eastern Lombard is a Romance language of the Gallo-Italic branch, closer to Occitan, Catalan, French, etc. than to Italian, with a Celtic substratum. Geographic distribution Eastern Lombard is primarily spoken in Eastern Lombardy (Northern Italy), in the provinces ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
