  • The term Emilian refers to a group of local languages, popularly also called dialects, who are parte of Gallo-Italic group, which are spoken in the historical region of Emilia. Although commonly referred to as an Italian dialect (even by its speakers), it does not descend from the Italian language. Gallo-Italic languages are Western New Latin (they conserve innovative phonetic and syntactic features), as French, Occitan and Catalan; while Italian is part of Eastern New Latin. Phonetics and Vocabulary borders between Emilian and the other Gallo-Italic languages are not exactly defined. For example, some dialectologists regard “pavese“ as a transitional variety between "real Emilian" and Western Lombard, while others think it is an Emilian language. The dialect of Piacenza features elements of both Emilian and Western Lombard languages; the same for the dialect of Cremona.
