FriulianLanguage
The FriulianLanguage is a RhaetianLanguage of Italy. SIL code: FRL. ISO 639-2: fur. Population: 600,000 (1976 Stephens). Region: Northeast and adjacent areas, northern Friuli-Venezia-Giulia on the borders of the Austrian province of Corinthia and the Republic of Slovenia. Alternate names: FURLAN, FRIOULAN, FRIOULIAN, PRIULIAN, FRIULANO. Dialects: EAST CENTRAL FRIULIAN, WESTERN FRIULIAN, CARNICO. Comments: Friulian, Ladin, and Romansch are separate languages (R. A. Hall, Jr. 1978, personal communication). F.B. Agard considers it to be structurally closer to Italian than to Romansch (personal communication 1981). Most speakers know Standard Italian. Some are cultivating Friulian as a literary language. In the area of Gorizia all the Slovenes speak it as a second or third language. Germans in the area also speak it. Regional pride. NT 1972.(extract from http://www.ethnologue.com/)
