Resumen de Friulian Dialect Classification

Paolo Roseano , Franco Finco

• This paper provides an overview of the classification of Friulian dialects. Two classifications have been proposed by Francescato (1966) and Frau (1984), which are extremely similar: both of them argue that Friulian is divided in three main dialectal areas dialects (Northern or Carnian, Central-Eastern, and Western or Concordiese), each of them parted into subareas. This classification has been carried out in the framework of isoglossic dialectology, basing mostly on materials collected for linguistic atlases.
