      Let go Occitano! Here in specific parts of Piemonte we also have bilingual road signs in Occitano and Piemontese 😄
      As for Piemontese, it's still spoken in the countrysides, but not in big cities like Torino (mine).
      However, I understand it very well because my mother's family entirely comes from the Asti countryside, so I can say it's another "half language" that I know! Only "half" though, because I don't speak it that well and you need to know that being it an Italian language it has its own grammar (in contrast with the other dialects).
      You should also look up for Friulano, it's pretty much mixed with Slovene ;) and then Siciliano is another language, as well as Sardo.
      Hope this helps!

    Seconda singolare in -s (trovavas) e 3 plurale in -en (ciamaven, fasíen) contro il torinese standard trovavi e ciamavo fasío . A un certo punto (7:28) ha anche un'esitazione tra forma torinese parloma e forma saluzzese perlëma.

    • @giorgiodifrancesco4590
      @giorgiodifrancesco4590 Рік тому +1

      Quella non è la forma saluzzese, ma semplicemente quella piemontese antica. Ricorda il "bin devema tuit piorer" della Lamentazione di Torino. Quindi, si tratta di una forma di piemontese conservativa.
      Fino alla conquista sabauda di Saluzzo, quella città e Barge erano addirittura in due Stati differenti.
      inoltre, il piemontese delle zone saluzzesi prossime a Barge mostra una totale inversione nella pronuncia delle "e" (esempio: "patéla" diventa "patèla"...quando non "patèl.la") e mutazioni di genere ("i pom"/"le pome").
      Nei verbi, la seconda singolare in -s, da te notata nel bargese, era comune anche a Torino, fino a quando non arrivò la forma moderna, che nacque nelle località dove si erano insediati i lombardi, che operavano nel campo dei tessuti: Pinerolo e Chieri. Sono gli stessi lombardi che usavano il "ti te diset" evoluto nella forma torinese "ti 't dise/ti 't disi". Ciò lo aveva già notato Devoto.
      Quanto all' -en (con la e pronunciata come una schwa), invece che -o, anche in tal caso il torinese è innovativo e si insinua tra zone conservatrici. Infatti, nel canavese si sente -an, di cui -en è solo una piccola mutazione fonetica. Al contrario -o implica una doppia mutazione -an > -on > -o (che si legge u). Il torinese è un idioma molto più aperto alle influenze esterne: è stretto tra l'astigiano-monferrino e il pinerolese, senza contare gli influssi francesi e italiani più recenti.

    • @giorgiodifrancesco4590

Non usandola più da troppi anni, faccio fatica a mantenere il registro.
