Introduction
Romagnol (rumagnòl) is a group of closely related dialects of Emilian-Romagnol spoken in the historical region of Romagna, which is today in the south-eastern part of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The name itself is derived from the Lombard name for the region Romania. It is also spoken outside the region, particularly in the Provincia di Pesaro e Urbino and in the independent country of San Marino. It is classified as an endangered language, due to older generations having “neglected to pass on the dialect as a native tongue to the next generation”.
