Dialect comparison

Lombard vs Venetian

Compare two dialects of Italian side by side — where they're spoken, what they're called, and how they relate.

Lombardo

The Gallo-Italic variety of Lombardy and Italian-speaking Switzerland. Internally split between Western (Milan) and Eastern (Bergamo) groupings.

Vèneto

The Romance variety of the Veneto region. Linguistically distinct enough from Italian that many linguists classify it as a separate language.
