     As mentioned above, this process is attested in some varieties of the dialects of north-western Italy—the so called 'Gallo-Italic' dialects (Piedmontese, Lombard, Ligurian, Emilian, Romagnolo). ]

     Dialectologists distinguish Gallo-Italic varieties (Piedmontese, Ligurian, Lombard, Emilian-Romagnol) from Venetan (Venetian, Trentino). In central Italy there are several Tuscan and central varieties (Umbrian, Marchigian, Roman) and southern varieties (Campanian, Abruzzese, Molisan, Calabrese, Pulian, Lucanian, and Sicilian). To these must be added the Ladino language spoken in Friuli (called Friulano in Italian or—in dialect—Furlans).
