How to stay updated about the Padanian language and culture

This page describes some quick ways to stay updated about the Padanian language and culture.
Please note The adjective "Padanian" has taken on different connotations along years, some of which of political character.
For instance, in the 70's there were in Italy some marxist associations using this term, while today, as of 2011, it is extensively exploited by the "Lega Nord" party (currently right-wing; in the 90's it allied with some leftist parties).
The author whishes to underline that the purpose of these pages is purely cultural and scientific (of course, this does not mean saying that politics would be a bad thing by itself). The adjective "Padanian" has been extensively used by the Nobel prize Dario Fo, who also wrote a pièce (Johan Padan a la descoverta de le Americhe) using a Cisalpine-Padanian koiné.

The Friulian Journal of sciences

Friulian historical flagThe Friulian Journal of Science (JFS) is currently being issued by the Friulian Scientific and Technological Society and presents original work (in Friulian and English) as well as reviews (in Friulian only) on relevant issues and book reviews. It contributes to the lively development of Friulian (one of the varieties of Padanian) by the scientific side: this also implies the use of newly-coined technical words, originating by everyday scientific practice.

Ok, but what is at stake exactly?

The Rhaeto-Romance Languages 

Haiman - Benincà

The Rhaeto-Romance Languages (Romance Linguistics)

Amazon Price: $151.27 (as of 06/03/2012)Buy Now

We strongly advise you read it. In the introduction, it is correctly stated that the so called Gallo-Italic dialects are not dialects of Italian. In the corpus of the book, the auhtors deal with a thorough descritpion of Friulian, Ladin and Romansh, the so called Rhaeto-Romance Languages. Emphasys and focus are on dialect variation; the authors conclude with a rather sceptical view about grouping these dialects. In some sense, their view would look like opposite to Hull [1982]. Yet, as in our scheme, this book is a very well documented step forward towards a better grouping of the Rhaeto-Cisalpine dialects. This couldn't group but them all, due to the similar amount of dialect variation in each dialect subgroup (such as Ladin, Venetian and Gallo-Italic), and to the striking similarities between different subgroups.

Rhaeto-Cisalpine at a glance - Vol.1 Phonology, Orthography, Morphology

Amazon Price: $72.00 (as of 06/03/2012)Buy Now

This is the first volume about the formation of a general Rhaeto-Cisalpine (or Padanian) koiné. The following criteria have systematically been adopted: getting close to medieval forms, purging the language from Italian influence, adopting Galloroman models as decisive contributions, accepting widespread forms and generalising local ones. In particular Ladin forms (both Rhaetian and Dolomitic) have been deemed central. ISBN 978-3895862083. LINCOM Studies in Romance Linguistics 65, 76pp.
