  • Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
  • Friulian is spoken by some 300,000 people, primarily in the Friuli region of northeastern Italy. A literary language since at least the thirteenth century, Friulian media has enjoyed renaissance after marginalization in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including music, television and the web. A Rhaeto-Romance language, it is most closely related to Romansh and Ladin, but is a cousin to all the Latin tongues of southern Europe. Read more on Wikipedia: bit.ly/1QGGc0p.

      Dear wikitongues, this is not Friulian, it is a (really bad) mixture of Italian and Friulian, as he cannot speak it properly. For the sake of it, it could be better to remove the video, it is completely misleading. If you do not trust me, check the other comments.

    As the guy said, his Friulian has been "bastardised" and he lives in Milan. I think he's mixing a lot with Italian, so that's why it may be a little more understandable. When older generations speak it, they speak very fast and maybe with a less Italian pronunciation and more typical words. I've always thought it sounded like an old language from the mountains. If you speak a Venetian dialect, you may understand a great deal of it because the vocabulary was greatly influenced by it. Maybe even more if you speak one of the Eastern Ladin dialects, which are very close to Friulian. Many Friulian speakers immigrated to my country (Belgium) and others to find work, such as my grandma. :)

Whatever the case may be, we should still continue to preserve our culture, and if any best case possible, revive it :)

    • @llobregat77
      @llobregat77 3 роки тому

      Well, that's not an easy question. By a general point of view, all the regional languages spoken in Italy tend to be considered as dialects by a sociolinguistic point of view. This is largely true even in the cases which enjoy the highest levels of legal protection and which have obtained the highest levels of linguistic development (i.e. in terms of standardization, presence in the media and so on) -- indeed, I am thinking about Friulian and Ladin. Therefore, I wouldn't say that the Friulian people is usually considered as a different ethnic group, even if it shows considerable differences respect to all the other regional groups in Italy. Ethnic awareness is limited, in my opinion. But, as I have already said, that is not an easy question for me.

      ***** Raeto-Romance group is 1) a branch of neolatin/romance languages, which includes french, friulian, italian, ladin, portuguese, romansh, spanish, etc. 2) The raeto-romansh family has been theorized by now over 100 years ago. Since that time the linguistic studies have been developed in a more appropriate structure. Now, this past-supposed group is overpassed, because yes, ladin, romansh and friulian are pretty closed eachothers, but there's no added meaning that could connect them more than the other romance languages. Recapitulating, the grammatical difference between friulian and ladin, is the same between friulian and italian. I know everybody can manifest his own personally think, but there's already too much ignorance about these arguments. Let the linguists talk about linguistic. Good day.

    Without missing respect for this guy, that admits that he isn't a fluent speaker, why doesn't Wikitongues certify that interviewed people are really able to speak the language they should preserve? I noticed the same in the video about Neapolitan: a local language deeply mixed with Italian. Where is the added value if all speakers aren't native or are far from being fluent?

      It's a language of its own. Standard Italian is almost an artificial language based on the "volgare" language spoken in Tuscany. It was chosen after the unification of Italy in 1861, while every part of Italy had its own language derived from Latin.

    For all of you saying you understand marilengue, when you only speak Italian, you really need to listen to someone who speaks it very fluently and then u can say u understand, which I seriously doubt you would. It's not Italian. Far from it. I should know. I have family back in the north east that speak it because they are originally from there. It's not like the southerners who migrate up north and claim they are or know the language. I understand Italian, but this language is very difficult to speak and understand. The people are different and they look different. Now, I bet alot of southerners moved north, so it's not the same. It used to be mostly Germans, Austrians, Swiss over there. Look at the way they used to dress and still do during celebrations. God only knows who lives there now.

    As many may know, Friùli comes from the Latin denomination "FORUM IULII". I am a Venetian now in my sixties, and as a military of the draft in the Italian army I was long stationed in the Friùli region. Francesco should call that region "Friùl". Why does Francesco call this language "Friulàn" and not "Furlàn"? The word Friulan is abviously the result of an even further convergence towards the "Italianisation" of all once established dialects in Italy; younger generations, like Francesco's, do not even realise how far this process has preceeded especially after the televison was introduced in the 1950s.
