Ladin (natively: ladin) is a Romance language, belonging to the Rhaeto-Romance group, spoken in a territory called Ladinia, located in the Dolomite Alps in northern Italy.
This minority language has the status of a protected language in Italy and the statuts of an official language in the autonomous region of Trentino-Alto Adige. It remains dominated by the state language, Italian.
The Ladin-speaking area, Ladinia, is divided between the following administrative units:
- Autonomous region of Trentino-Alto Adige
- province of Bolzano or South Tyrol: Ladin is spoken in Gardena Valley and Badia Valley
- province of Trento: Ladin is spoken in Fassa Valley
- Region of Veneto
- province of Belluno: Ladin is spoken in Livinallongo Valley, Cortina d'Ampezzo and the Cadore region.
The Ladin dialect of Cadore (excepting Cortina d'Ampezzo) is strongly influenced by Northern Italian and therefore some authors exclude it from "Ladin" and "Ladinia" proper.
A standard variety of Ladin has been implemented since the 2000s.[1]
