Know this, O worthy and diligent lensmaster;
With accomplishment you’ve earned a tryster.
As a token of immense appreciation expressed,
A squid angel leaves this lens heartily blessed.
On a rendering that is sparkling in its own right,
Propagating an appealing thought well and quite;
If you were to notice a slender shimmering crust;
From the angel’s wand, it is a spill of stardust.

A brilliant lens - so informative and refreshing that you are not trying to sell something at every turn. Blessed.

I had never heard of Padanian, but the terms Lombard and Venetan do seem familiar for some reason. Perhaps I'm thinking of Carol Lombard and Venetian blinds.

No - hadn't heard the word, but strangely enough an Italian Friend from Turin was telling me last night night how he found French 'felt' more like a dialect of Italian than a foreign language, and he assimilated it easily. A fascinating subject and your lens is terrific.

I had seen books about Friulian a language related to to the Swiss Rhaeto-Romansch
language(s) rather than to standard Italian a few years ago on the shelves of the UIUC library but have not until your article seen it classified as dialects of a common language with the dialects of Liguria and Piedmont. Is this a genetic connection or due to a cis- Alpine Gaul Celtic substrate?

Both the genetic connection and the Gaul Celtic substrate have been considered in Hull, 1982. No clear-cut statements is made there. In my view, connection is genetic; anyway this is not a conclusion, rather a research hypothesis. Much more scientific research is needed on this subject, which means... setting up fundraising. Still at a preliminary phase for that. Many thanks for stopping by. Please send me a private message from my lensmaster page (after signing up to Squidoo) if interested in more details. Thank you.
