Venetian or Venetan is a Romance language spoken by Venetians in the northeast of Italy, mostly in the Veneto region of Italy. Although referred to as an Italian dialect (Venetian: diałeto, Italian: dialetto) even by some of its speakers, Venetian is a separate language with many local varieties including Trentino that you could have seen featured on this channel previously. In this video, we test mutual intelligibility between Venetian, Portuguese, Romanian and French. 🤓

The Venetian language is also spoken in the southern states of Brazil. People call it "lingua talian", because it was spoken by immigrants from Veneto, Trentino, Friuli Venezia Giulia and eastern Lombardia, who came to Brazil in the late 19th century.

Molti veneti si sono trasferiti qui in Brasile all'epoca dell'emigrazione, quindi i loro dialetti, insieme al trentino, friulano, portoghese e ai dialetti della Lombardia, hanno costruito il Talian, parlato nelle zone dove la gente discende di italiani qui nel Sud del Paese.

This isn' t venetian, ( Venezia), it' s Padoan. Same root, and some people believe that a sort of generic mix can be refered to as " lengua veneta" which doesnt actually exist, Venetian dialect differs largely from rhis one, in types of expressivity, construction, terms, accent and so on.

As a Galician and Spanish speaker I always felt that Italian was the easiest non Ibero-Romance language to understand but now I have to say it is Venetian. I honestly didn't need the subtitles to understand the vast majority of what Andrea was saying. It really is a very beautiful language. Thanks Ecolinguist for introducing me to it.

@wallachia4797 2 года назад

As a Romanian, I was very impressed by this video. I have for the longest time lived under the impression that the Northern Italian speech is unintelligible to us and I had that thought cemented ever since I spoke to a guy from Milan who might aswell have been speaking French to me. However, at the start of the video I could've sworn that the Venetian guy was speaking Romanian briefly. The best way to describe it is that it sounds like a Romanian trying to speak Italian, specifically an old person from Banat. The accent is so similar that it tripped me out but the vocabulary and way he expressed himself is also very similar to the way we speak. Truly amazing.

@aurversusargint4693 2 года назад

It is incredible how similar the Romanian language is to the languages of northern Italy Friulian it's still close to Romanian

@swalhal3701 2 года назад

That's because Veneto is a language on its own (more similar to Italian) and different from Gallo-Italian languages (Like the ones they speak in Lombardy/Milan, Emilia-romagna, Liguria, Piedmont, Trentino, so basicallt most of Northern Italy.). Different still from Veneto and Gallo-Italic both is Friulian spoken in North Eastern Italy, East of Veneto. So that's why Veneto made a different impression to you compared to that guy from Milan. they're different brances.

It is uncorrect to refer as to " venetian dialects". You have Veneto( the entire region). And so dialetti veneti. Dialects of Veneto. Which have a sinilar root but are pretty different in many aspects. In fact venetian dialect( from the city of Venice), is only one, and differs largely from.this one, in pronounciation and certain constructions and words. In fact in Venice, where i have lived as a italian with english dad for 15 years and learnt the dialect perfectly, the refer to dialects as this one, not as lengua veneta, but as " diaeto campagnoeo", countryside dialect🤣, since Venetians consider anyone off the bridge as a peasant😄

The Venetian Language is still spoken by Italian (Venetian) descendants in the town of Chipilo, Puebla in Mexico. In the late 1800's & early 1900's there was a significant planned immigration from Veneto during the Italian Unification period to Mexico by the Mexican Government. They settled there and have built a "Little Italy" in Mexico! As a Spanish, Italian & Portuguese speaker, Venetian was very easy to understand! Some words are almost identical to Spanish & Portuguese, others closer to Italian & French.

13:34 The Romanian word for artichoke, anɡhină is a Greek loan, it comes from αγκινάρα /aɲɟináɾa/ the Byzantine Greek variant of the ancient κινάρᾱ kĭnárā (a Pre-Greek substrate word). 15:30 The Venetian word for fork is from the Byzantine Greek πιρόνιον /pirόnion/ the diminutive of the ancient περόνη pērónē= brooch, buckle cognate with the Latin v. portō, noun portātor. In Greek the five words are: -Λιμνοθάλασσα /limnoθálasa/ -Αγκινάρα /aɲɟináɾa/ -Πιρούνι /piɾúni/ -Θεία /θía/ -Φιστίκι /fistíci/ which is a reloan: Late Koine πιστάκη pĭstákē (from the Middle Persian pistag) > Arabic فستق (fustuq) > Ottoman Turkish فستق‎ (fıstık) > Late Byzantine φιστίκιον phistíkion

Since Portuguese is my mother tongue and I’ve been studying French for 2 years so far, I didn’t have much trouble trying to understand the video as a whole. I guess I could grasp 90% of Venetian and around 85% of Romanian, simply by perceiving words in those languages that resemble French and Portuguese. Some words are impossible to guess cause they are loanwords which stem from other sources. However, I believe that any person who has prior knowledge of two Romance languages won’t find it difficult to communicate with native speakers of all of them, as long as they speak slowly and have enough patience to explain the meaning of some odd words.

The use of "Ł" in the Venetian alphabet to signify the variation in its pronunciation is so smart! Jen la prezentitaj vortoj de Andrea en Esperanto/Here are Andrea's presented words in Esperanto: 1. *laguno* 2. *artiŝoko* 3. *forko* (this word, like the three participants, was also the easiest for me to guess) 4. *onklino* 5. *arakido*

In Brazilian Portuguese "laguna" is also "laguna" because there's salty water mixed with potable water "Lagoa" fits only when there's no salt or canal where sea water gets mixed into. Thanks for sharing! EDIT: would be nice to find somebody from Brazil who can speak Talian and see how similar is to Venetian. I think people would be VERY surprised!

Lagoa ("laguna" also exists, but it's a technical word and almost nobody, except experts, uses it); 2. Alcachofra; 3. Garfo; 4. Tia; 5. Amendoim (or "alcagoita", as my grandmother called it).

Holy shit, i live in northern Veneto and it always amazes me how different our version of Venetian is from the ones spoken in other areas. It's so weird how I can still understand him perfectly but at the same time it sounds off, it makes me feel uneasy, like the language version of the uncanny valley. It's probably happening because I'm so used to hearing our dialect being spoken our way since where I live it's used at least as much as Italian, probably even more

@AndreaLunardon Год назад

It's exactly this way! And this process happens with everybody speaking every dialect of every language: think about Liverpool and London dialects (both English language), or Barcellona and Valencia (both Catalan language), or Naples and BAri (both Neapolitan language), or Filorence and Pisa (both Tuscan language).

As a Spanish speaker from California, I understood quite a lot of Venetian. For me, Venetian flows like an Italian speaker with a deep voice while pronouncing words like Latin-Americans for the following words/questions: "In Francese como se dise?" "Venessia" In Mexico, there exists communities where ancient Venetian is still spoken -- i.e., notably in the city of Chipilo, Puebla. There are other Italian/Venetian communities in Veracruz, Michoacan, and elsewhere. The Venetian spoken in Mexico sounds very Castilian-like with the ceceo.

@esti-od1mz 2 года назад

I would say that Venetian is the most understandable language from the North of Italy for a Southern or Central Italian. If I remember correctly, linguists still don't agree to classify it as Gallo-italic.

Stumped everyone with the artichoke! I got it only when he said it begins with A. The part that is eaten is not the petals, but the bracts around the inflorescence.

@L-mo 2 года назад

In fairness the lovely Venetian speaker didn't make it very easy - he said it wasn't eaten with pasta, whereas many pasta sources can contain artichoke, which is also used in salads, including when raw if it's the young variety of artichoke. I guess he's not a cook!

Great video again, especially for a romance languages' speaker ! I don't know about Français québécois, but Antoine made a little mistake on the first word : in French, there are two words which are "lagon" (in the middle of the ocean for example) and "lagune" (on the coast like in Venise).

I went to Italy one summer to learn Italian quickly for a uni course ( I already spoke Spanish and Catalan). I met a lovely Italian guy at a Jazz festival from a small town with no pavement. He spoke to me in Veneto the whole time and I learned lots of new words that I later found out were of no use to me on my uni course 😂 Hearing this today, reminds me of this lovely language! I also understood everything though I had artichoke for my number two - for the Arab origin right from the beginning. I remember Mi so and Mi go I am/have... zoba- Thursday, toza-girl, ghe ze - do you have or is there (not sure about that one). It sounds just lovely. It was also curious to see how it is written correctly. I wish I could go back in time.

My Paduan dialect is very near to your Treviso dialect as I am from Cittadella, which is in the North of the Paduan province, basically the same distance (30 km) from Padua and from Treviso. The most recurrent difference between our dialects is the pronunciation of L: for example the English word "horse" is translated "cavaeo" in Padua and "caval" in Treviso (that is why we should write "cavało" in standard Venetian).

Veneto was my first language, Italian my second language and English my third! When I returned to Italy in the 1990's it was near extinct and considered very outdated and worhty of ridicule. It made me very sad. I am passing this onto my daughter who is now learnng Italian, and will hopefully learn Veneto too. Grasie per questo video.
