לדינית דולומיטית

Ladin (lingaz ladin, ladino dolomitano) is a Rhaeto-Romance language spoken in five valleys of the Italian Dolomites — Val Gardena (Gherdëina), Val Badia, Val di Fassa, Livinallongo (Fodom) and Ampezzo — by ~30K people. Together with Romansh (rm) of Switzerland and Friulian (fur) of northeast Italy, it forms the Rhaeto-Romance group, descending from the Latin of Roman colonists in Raetia (15 BCE). Recognized as a minority language under Italian Law 482/1999 and the Trentino-Alto Adige autonomous statute. Each of the five valleys has its own written variety; the SPELL standardization project (1988) created a unified pan-valley Ladin Dolomitan, which remains controversial.
