Talk:Ladin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You would be surprised how many people refer to Ladin in Italy as Ladino. The thing is, in Italian, Ladin is Ladino! And let's not forget that the Dolomites are in Italy (close to the Austrian border), therefore, we must make clear that we understand and accept that Italians refer to Ladin as Ladino (check the Italian link for Ladin and you can see for yourselves), but since this article is in English, we refer to it as Ladin.
Question: Does anyone know how is Ladin in German? We could mention it as well.

[edit] Ladin in Deutsch
Ladin in German is Ladinisch.
The modern Ladins are tri-lingual. They grow up speaking Ladin at home, but when they enter school half of their courses are conducted in Italian and the other half in German.
The Ladin flag is solid bars top to bottom: blue, white and green. Blue is for the sky over Ladinia. White is for the snow. Green is for the alpine meadows.
- Is it right that they even speak four languages, at least if you count the South Tyrole dialect of German as a language of its own?--Unoffensive text or character 16:07, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] it presents connections...
This passage: "It presents connections with the Swiss Romansh and Friulian" sounds strange to me, but then I am not a native speaker of English. I will rephrase it, but please feel free to revert my change.--Unoffensive text or character 16:09, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
