Venetian (Vèneto) is a Gallo-Italic Romance language of northeastern Italy, spoken by ~3.8M as the prestige and administrative language of the Republic of Venice (697-1797) which spread it across the Mediterranean and Adriatic. Notable for clitic subject doubling ("el can el magna"), retention of final unstressed vowels, and the lexicon Carlo Goldoni used in 18th-c. comedies. Distinct from Italian; a co-official regional language since 2007 in the Veneto region.
