  Friulian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
or affectionately marilenghe in Friulian, friulano in Italian) is a Romance language belonging to the Rhaetian family, spoken in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy.
Today, Friulian is spoken in the province of Pordenone but widely throughout the province of Udine including the area of the Carnia Alps, in more than half of the province of Gorizia, and in the eastern part of the province of Venice.
These, known in Friulian as pleonastics o clitics, are never emphasized vocally; they are used together with the verbs to reinforce the subject, and can be found before the verb in declarative sentences or immediately after it in case of interrogative or vocative (otative) sentences.

 Euromosaic - Friulian in Italy
Friulian is popularly referred to as eastern Ladin and is a member of the Romance subgroup of the Indo-European family of languages.
Friulian experienced a high point in its sense of linguistic identity in the 1950s, when two new grammar books, a description of the dialects and a history of the Friulian language were published.
The continuing decline in the language is undoubtedly due to the inadequate use of Friulian in institutions despite the provisions of the Autonomous Statute of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region and the inadequate use of the language in key social areas to which this leads.

 The Wine News Magazine - Il Friuli - a very un-Italian region with very Italian wine
Just as there are adherents of the deft Friulian white winemaking approach (and, for that matter, the approach adopted by fine winemakers in most regions of Italy) and others who prefer the heavier-handed international approach that yields more richly textured wines, there are ardent fans of both ice cream styles.
Moreover, Friulian whites are eminently food-worthy wines that make natural partners for fare that runs the gamut from the conventional and familiar Italian tastes, to the earthy and spice-laden flavors of the Austro-Hungarian and Slavic linkage.
Friulian wines are the perfect complement for a number of familiar culinary standbys, starting with prosciutto, mentioned earlier as a natural partner for Tocai.

 Gorizia and Gradisca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During XIX century Gorizia was an important and lively center for the Friulian language: many old books were republished, new works were composed, also thanks to the fact that even nobility used normally the language, while for example in Udine higher class rather used Venetian dialect, because Friulian was seen as the language of peasants.
It's interesting to note that still today in the area of the old county is spoken the same dialect, even in those villages around Cervignano that doesn't belong since World War I to the Province of Gorizia.
The county of Gorizia and Gradisca is also important for the Friulian language because it's the only land that ever had a census on speakers of Friulian: in 1857 the census showed 48.841 Friulians, 130.748 Slovenians, 15.134 Italians and 2.150 Germans; a second census in 1921, immediately after the annexation to Italy gave similar results
