About Ladin
Ladin belongs to the Rhaeto-Romance branch of the Romance family and is spoken in the Dolomite valleys of northern Italy, especially in South Tyrol, Trentino, and Belluno. Estimates vary, but the speech community is usually placed at around 30,000 to 40,000 speakers. It is written with the Latin alphabet, with local spelling traditions alongside a broader standard known as Ladin Dolomitan.
A distinctive feature of Ladin is its preservation of vowel contrasts and other traits that set it apart from neighboring Italian dialects and from Standard Italian, while still showing strong Romance structure. Culturally, it is recognized as a minority language in parts of the Dolomites and has a visible role in local schooling, media, and public life. The language is closely related to Romansh and Friulian, though these are generally treated as separate Rhaeto-Romance languages rather than varieties of a single standard language.
