Milanese dialect
Milanese (Milanes, Milanées, Meneghin, Meneghìn) is the central dialect of the Western variety of the Lombard language spoken in the city, the province of Milan and the northernmost part of the province of Pavia.
In Italian-language contexts, Milanese is often (like most non-standard Italian varieties spoken in Italy) called a "dialect" of Italian. However, linguistically, Milanese is a Western Romance language and is more closely related to French, Romansh, Occitan and to other Gallo-Italian languages.
