Romance (Rhaeto-Romance)
Friulian (Furlan) is the largest Rhaeto-Romance language, spoken by ~600K in northeastern Italy (Friuli-Venezia Giulia region). Closely related to Romansh and Ladin, Friulian descends from a distinctive Aquileian Latin and shows Celtic substrate features (palatalisation of CA-, e.g. cjase < CASA). Recognized as a minority language under Italian Law 482/1999 and regional law since 1996. Notable medieval poetry tradition (Pre-1400 Cancionero); modern standard developed by the Friulian Philological Society (1919).
