How sounds piemontèis to you?

[Peyrol]

That's the joke. It's closer to Provençal when spoken than written. To me what differentiates Piemontèis the most is the presence of some very un-Italic idiomatisms like d'antorn (entour/entorn in Occitan and Catalan I think, entour in French must mostly survives in alentour, simplification of à l'entour).

Yeah and this isn't surprising since we know wery well the pan-italic savoyarde expansionism...written standarization with the pseudolombard rules is just another one point in that direction.

As an half orobich lombard (''Bergamasch'') myself, i can't unfortunately.

But there are two kind of lombard: arrogant and snotty (milanès) and good old boys (orobichs).

I've been living in Turin for three years now but sadly I've never heard Piemontèis, neither spoken by old nor by young people. I hope around Piedmont still lives someone who speaks the langauge and who spreads it to the younger generations along with the marvellous culture of the region... Anyway Piemontèis sounds pretty cool even though I must say I prefer Ligurian

Turinès is nearly dead as i wrote, the areal of conservation is Cuneo, Asti and Alessandria.
Even the northern variants (Vercelli for example) are nearly dead because people didn't trasmitted the language to their sons.

Fantastico, sei un gallo-italico marchigiano. :-)

Hi Peyrol, It sounds like those dialects are used in North Western Italy, I think, like Lombard.
