 Cimbrian language, alphabet and pronunciation
Cimbrian is a Germanic language spoken by about 2,230 people in northeast Italy in the Sette and Tredici Comuni (Sieben and Dreizehn Gemainde) south of Trent, in some towns of Giazza (Glietzen, Ljetzen), Roana (Rabam), Lusern and in Venetia Province.
Cimbrian is taught in primary schools, but it is in danger of becoming extinct because it is being displaced by the neighbouring Venetian language, which is increasingly used as a domestic language and by Italian, which is used in public.
Local legends attribute the modern Cimbrians' lineage to the Cimbrian marauders that the Roman general Gaius Marius defeated in 102 BC at Campi Raudii, near Vercelli, however it is more probable that today's Cimbrians are descended from Lombard invaders, who invaded Northen Italy in 588 AD.
