Gallo-Italian
Romance language
Quick Summary
Gallo-Italian is a group of Romance languages spoken in northern Italy. These languages are part of the larger Indo-European language family. While standard Italian is the official language of Italy, northern regions like those where Gallo-Italian is spoken are linguistically complex, with influences from Germanic and Slavic languages as well. The Milanese dialect, for example, shows phonological and grammatical influences from French and German.1
