Dolomitic Language Family

The Dolomitic Language Family refers to a group of languages spoken in the Dolomite Mountains region of northern Italy. This family includes several dialects of Ladin and other related languages. These languages have roots in the ancient Romance languages, evolving from Latin, and are influenced by the unique cultural and historical context of their mountainous surroundings. While they are not widely spoken outside their regions, they are integral to the local identity and heritage. Efforts are ongoing to preserve and promote these languages amidst the influences of dominant Italian and German languages in the area.
