	Molise Slavic dialect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Molise Slavic dialect is a descendant dialect of the Slavic language spoken on the Dalmatian coast in the fifteenth century and now spoken in three villages in Campobasso province in Molise Region in Italy.
		The existence of this Slavic colony was unknown outside Italy until 1855 when Medo Pucić, a linguist from Dubrovnik, during one of his journeys in Italy overheard a tailor in Naples speaking with his wife in a language very similar to Pucić's own.
		Slavic verb aspect is preserved, except in the past tense imperfective verbs are attested only in the Slavic imperfect tense (bihu, they were), and perfective verbs only in the perfect tense (je izaša, he came out).

	Serbo-Croatian language
		Many dialects of Čakavian have a lot of loan words from Venetian and Italian, because they are spoken in areas of Croatia that were previously under Venice and/or Italy.
		However, since there is no clear-cut criterion for distinguishing a language from a dialect, and dialects are usually described in reference to standard languages, a notion of diasystem is frequently used instead of Serbo-Croatian.
		This dialect is spoken in three villages of the Italian region of Molise by the descendants of south Slavs who migrated there from the eastern Adriatic coast in the 15th century.

	ITALY FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Given the variation in Italian language throughout the peninsula, it was quickly established that 'proper' or 'standard' Italian would be based on the Florentine dialect spoken in most of Tuscany (given that it was the first region to produce authors such as Dante_Alighieri, who between 1308 and 1321 wrote the ''Divina_Commedia'').
		In addition, particular dialects have become cherished beacons of regional variation and are becoming recently more protected (especially the Neapolitan dialect which is extensively used for the singing of popular folk-songs).
		In the Molise region of central-south Italy some 4,000 people speak Serbo-Croatian - these are the descendants of a group of people who migrated from the Balkans in the Middle Ages.

		One of undoubtably Croatian linguistic characteristics in Bosnia is a very widespread use of the ikavian dialect (an amazing literature has been written in the ikavian version of the Croatian language, since the time of Marko Marulic in the 15th century, and also earlier by Glagolitic scribes).
