	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.

		This is because of the interplay between languages of wider communication and languages assumed to be endangered, the lack of participation of Africa within the global economy, and the lack of more accurate surveys of languages and language speakers.

		There are various reasons for this, such as the low ethnic and linguistic consciousness of the speakers (particularly in the Veneto region) and the lack of both adequate funding and of a policy that takes economic development seriously into account.
		Considering the size of the speaking community, its socio-economic situation, the invasive presence of Italian and the lack of resources, the chances for the survival of Cimbrian are not high, particularly in the Veneto region.
		However, language planning is worth attempting anyway, not only to preserve Italy's (and the world's) rich diversity, but particularly for the cultural, social and economic benefits that reversing language shift always entails.
