Venetian is really a dialect of a wider Veneto language native to the regionContinue reading “El móndo vèneto – pt. 2”

Vèneto / łéngua vèneta / łengoa vèneta / Venetian / Venetan is a Romance language spoken in the Veneto region of northeast Italy, still understood by around five million people. It’s often referred to as a dialect / 🦁 diałeto / 🇮🇹 dialetto of Italian, misleading people to assume therefore derivatory, but is rather aContinue reading “El móndo vèneto, e el scuarso scherçóxo – pt. 1”
