Who are the Ladini people who live in the Dolomites? 

Her English is remarkable ! My DNA 🧬 results showed my oldest ancestor ( female ) came from here 🙏🏻 wonderful to hear about this culture !

She has such a sweet and welcoming demeanor. Beautiful too.

As a speaker of Spanish, English, Swiss German, Galician, Asturian, and Catalan. I can say with total confidence that it sounds more Swiss German than Spanish or Catalan, but it flows like Galician.

Part 2: Examples: there is a lot of German vocabulary in badiot and gherdeina (20% of the original, not counting words newly created by language programming), the names of the traditional jobs are a simple example (paur, cramer, pinter, slosser, from Bauer, Kramer, Binder, Schlosser). Structure: the typical german combination of verb + adverb, like luvè sö, stè sö, dè sö, di sö from “aufstehen”, “aufgeben” y “aufsagen”. Phonetics: the very unique "r" sound of Gherdeina

LADIN or LADINS (whichs is the official name in Ladin itself and in English), not ladino or ladini please. Ladino is the Italian name and when used in English it just causes confusion with the Ladinos of Spain, who are a completely different group.

you're right, here in Friuli for example we speak Friulian wich is, actually, of the Ladin family and I can tell you we've got many german, slovenian, celtic words on a Latin structure.

Ladino of Dolomites (Northern Italy, south Tirol), is NOT the same as spanish judeo in Spain

ONCE AGAIN: DO NOT MAKE CONFUSION BETWEEN "LADINI LANGUAGE" THAT IN ENGLISH MEANS JUDAIC LANGUAGES OF HISTORICAL EBREW COMMUNITY IN SPAIN, AND "LADIN LANGUAGE" THAT MEANS A DOLOMITIC ROMANCE LANGUAGE SPOKEN IN ITALIAN SOUTH TYROL (GARDENA VALLEY) AND STRICTLY RELATED WITH SWISS-ROMANSH AND ITALIAN-FRIULAN !!!

A lot of words are like Romanian words.

She looks like my Nonna when she was younger.

P.S. Actually, it is wrong to say that Ladin is completely unrelated with German. For example in Val Badia almost 20% of the vocabulary is germanic, and part of the grammatical structure is akin to that of the neighbouring Tyrolean (German) dialects.

Lovely people. Tourism actually can also fasten the assimilation and language lose but I hope these people will stop leaving their land and preserve their nice pastoral culture.

Part 1: Dear Ettore, read my comments carefully, that was never my intention. Being a romance language of course the great part of its structure is romance, but some varieties show a great "Baiuvarian" influence (i.e. badiot and gherdeina; Fodom, Fascian and Ampezan are more influenced by Venetian and Trentino), resulting in a good amount of vocabulary and a few characteristics in structure and phonetics. So it is wrong to say that German has nothing to do with it. A little bit, but not nothing.

The language and people are called "Ladin" in English. "Ladino" is the same as "Judeo-Spanish", the language of Jews that were expelled from Spain during the Inquisition.

I am half ladin and half german...

vive il friul !!! la nestre lenghe je fuarte !

Is the Ladin folk linked with the Celts,the Etruscans and the Ilirians who lived in the Alps and lately was under Roman rule ?

What an excellent English, Karen Pizzolini (but this name is not Ladin, right(?))

Ow boy

This is a musical group (three beautiful girls) that sings in Ladin (of Val Badia, Italy): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-e-TIFcxXJiE.html

Can an Italian Understand Ladin? Val Badia Variety It could be that Ladin is not from Latin but the other way around. Romanians have almost exactly the same numerals and they are formed far away from the Dolomites. Romanian comes from Ladin, Dacian, not Latin. Wow 😮😮😮😮 Why Romanian Isn't Like Other Languages - because it is the closest to Ladin Origin of Romanic languages in Ladin, not in Latin. Amazing. Ladin and Ladino is the Semitic language, mother of all European languages. It is not that Spanish influenced this language. It is the other way around. Latin America is in fact Ladino America 🇺🇸. The continent where Ladinos or Jews emigrated. I always thought it has something to do with romance languages from Europe, but it is even prior to Americo Vespucci. Wow. It all makes sense. It comes full circle. Incredible. Ladino, romance language spoken in Israel 🇮🇱 We found the connection with the language spoken by the tribe of Dan, the Dacian, back to Israel. Incredible. Ladino. Latin America, could be Ladino America. 70% Jewish genes in Latin America. Either Ashkenazi or of the lost tribes of Israel. A huge revelation for today. Zal-Moxis Dacia Dan Look for the Serpent's Trail If you consider the other Romanian like languages such as Aromanian, istroromanian and others, that developed away from Dacia, you cannot say that the Dacian language was Latinised. And you cannot say that Aromanian is Latinised Greek. Because the way the latin words are spoken into these languages is close to Romanian and not Latin. How can a Latinised Greek develop 2000 km away from Dacia in the exact way as the Latinised Dacian language? No chance. It is more like Dacian language was a language that gave birth to Latin. Important to know!!!! Dacians and Sarmatians are THE LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL. Sarmatians are Samaritans. Dacians are the Dan's. The lost tribe of Dan. They colonized first what became Thracia and Dacia and move forward up north when the Romans invaded Dacia and colonized Scandinavia known as Province of Dacia and formed also countries like Olan-da, Dan-mark. The people living in Olanda/Holland/The Netherlands, are called Dutch (pronounced Daci) They were also Dacians. Dan-mark was called Dacia in the 4th century. The tribe of Dan, colonized Iberia, France and Wallonia, as well as Irland and Scotland. Zal-Moxis was Chief Moses, the God of the Dacians. Why? Because Moses brought Israel out of Egypt. The Tribe of Dan was in Exile as well and got Moses worship 🛐 to be their protector. The Serpent with wolf 🐺 head on a pole, was the war flag of both Dacians and Sarmatians and it was inspired from the Old Testament book of Numbers 21.4-9. The serpent on the pole of Moeses. Moesia comes from Moses. Is the country of Moses people. Moesel is the river of Moses. Dan-ube is the river of Dan. Many rivers in Europe have the name based on Dan derivative in the first place. Saxons is derived from (I)saac sons. The sons of Isaac. Europe is therefore Semitic. România 🇷🇴 was occupied by many other powers over the centuries. The Ottoman Empire was there for 500 years yet Romanias don't speak Turkish. The Austr-Hungarian Empire was there for 300 years. Yet only the colonized villages in specific regions where Hungarians and Germans emigrated 700 years ago, speak Hungarian and German and are the emigrants. No Românian people ever spoke another language. The Roman occupation was only 150 years at maximum. It is no way the Dacian peasants were Latinised. Therefore Latin was not the language that formed Romanian language nor the other Romance languages from Iberic Peninsula, France, Wallonia, Italy. It is most likely that all these languages developed separately from a Semitic language that became Dacian language that got variations according to the region the segmented parts of the Tribe of Dan emigrated to. It is extraordinary and fascinating at the same time. Look for the article. The Serpent's Trail of the lost tribes of Israel. The tribe of Dan. Btw. The Gypsies are Semitic too. They are from the lost tribes of Simeon. Sardinia was also colonized by the Tribe of Dan. Romanian language and Sardinian language are similar. This is another hint.

where is Dolomites?

That doesn’t sound German haha come on.

@MrViTopol - Scusa ma che cavolo dici? Che senso avrebbe una derivazione araba di questa parola visto che gli arabi non erano parte della storia antica dell'Italia. Pare invece che venga da vocabolo Oscan (lingua della parte centrale dell'Italia) per definire la 'terra dei vitelli'

In the Ladino (or Italian) language, Ladino is the language, Ladini are the people plural. A single person would be a Ladino.

i would say , souds romanisch

My Nonna was from Zoldo Alto in the Belluno Province of Veneto. are they Ladini? My Nonna and her family spoke a mixed Venetian/Ladin languauge.

ladini sunt și vor fi strămoși înrudiți cu origini în munții Carpați și Valahia noi suntem frați vechi urmași al marelui neam traco-Dacic

Say something in Ladin not Ladino which is a Spanish Jewish dialect.

d'altronde, pare ovvio: Oscan -> Italia. :P

ladino are jews. I worked in ladino hotel in Colfosco,Alta Badia

this is spanish but with very strong germany accent!!!
