Piedmontese

Piedmontese is a Romance language spoken in Piedmont, northwestern Italy. It is spoken by about 4 million people and is classified as a "vulnerable language" by UNESCO. Piedmontese is closely related to French and Occitan, and is part of the Gallo-Italic languages. It is also considered to be a transitional language between Italian and French. Piedmontese has a rich literature, dating back to the 12th century. It is also the only Romance language that has a dedicated Wikipedia page in its own language. Piedmontese is an interesting language for a number of reasons. For one, it is one of the few Romance languages that is not written in the Latin alphabet. Instead, it uses a modified version of the Cyrillic alphabet. This is because Piedmontese was once part of the Soviet Union. Piedmontese is also notable for its use of vowel harmony. This means that all of the vowels in a word must be of the same type. For example, the word "cat" would be written as "kot" in Piedmontese. Piedmontese is a fascinating language with a rich history. It is definitely worth learning more about!
