Fenek, I posted other links for friulian but I posted them wrongly at the thread you opened at the Unilang Language Forum, instead of here...

I'd appreciate if you could share here your impressions and experiences

[Fenek]

Il corso segue la grafia ufficiale (e questo mi pare giustissimo). Ma il dizionario che ho usa la grafia Nazzi. Percio' devo imparare a convertire la grafia Nazzi alla grafia ufficiale. Mi faccio un esercizio. Scegliero' a caso venti parole del dizionario e le riscrivero' nella grafia ufficiale.

mandi e bon studi

[Klenje]

the nazzi spelling system I think is a lot easier for someone like you that comes from slavic languages... not for native speakers
anyway...

cjald
should be cjalt

cudicj - you know that I never heard of it for devil I use diaul ...

Capodistria si dîs Cjaudistre par furlan
mandi

[Fenek]

Grazionis, Klenje!

cudicj - you know that I never heard of it for devil I use diaul ...

Thanks for letting me know! That word is of Slavic origin, so chances are it is only used in Eastern dialects of Friulian.

Capodistria si dîs Cjaudistre par furlan

Wow, it's great to know that!
Do you also have a Friulian name for Piran/Pirano?

BTW Some linguists think that Friulian was spoken in Cjaudistre many centuries ago. In fact, there is discussion what the original language of the region of Capodistria was: Friulian, Istriot or Venetian.

Mandi!

[Klenje]

Piran/Pirano should be Piran also in Friulian; I know that it is not known which language was spoken in Istria before Slavic/Venetian influence; I'm sure though that the area of diffusion of Rhaeto-Romanic languages was a lot larger than today
mandi e domande se ti covente alc, par me al è un divertiment e un plasê rispuindi

[Maja]

Piran/Pirano should be Piran also in Friulian;

It is believed that Piran is a name of Greek origine.... derived from a name for "fire".

Fenek, I'm sorry but ....
Btw, original when? This place was not emptied and abandoned when the Roman empire collapsed. People just stayed there and merged with the peoples invading them, if they survived. So in the times of Roman empire the language was Latin, maybe not the purist one from Rome, but definitely Latin. Aquileia was the regional capital and from there the empire had broaden to the east where the beasts lived.... there were several wars with the natives of that time (I'm talking about the time of the 2nd and 1st centuries BC), who were - as it is believed - of the Ilyrian descend (like many peoples in Istria) and further north-east of Celtic.
Btw, Capodistria was not a name used in Roman times.

Yesterday a teacher told us he once invited a Friulian to talk about the linguistic situation in Friûl, in one of his classes.

The Friulian lecturer spoke Italian, and everybody understood what he was saying (some knew Italians, others didn't but it wasn't hard to understand this language).

At the end of the conference, he was invited to say some things in Friulian, and when he did, they realized it had many similar things to Catalan, specially those consonant endings. It is nice for a Catalan to listen to this language.

[Fenek]

Btw, original when?

Right. I meant the language that had developed from Latin in present-day Slovenian Istria. The coastal towns remained Romance-speaking, while Slavs settled in the hinterland.

[Klenje]

Btw, Capodistria was not a name used in Roman times.

Yeah, it was Capris during Roman times, while Aegida was an older name probably of Greek origins

[Fenek]

Fenek, I'm sorry but ....

Mmmm... kaj?

[Fenek]

In vuê o fasei lezion 1

[Fenek]

Qual'è la forma corretta: verp o vierp?

[Klenje]

In vuê o fasei lezion 1

I guess it is
Vuê o fâs la lezion 1

and the right form is "verp"

[Klenje]

Yeah, I've also heard about it, but I've spoken just once to a catalan so I didn't have a chance to verify. But also in written forms there are many similarities, e.g the plural in -s....
I visited the page in your signature and I can understand a big part of it...

Example:
Introdueix un verb sense preposició

is
Introdusêt un verp cence preposizion


also consider that the official friulian ortography was proposed by a catalan linguist
