Venetian or Venetan is a Romance language spoken by over two million people, mostly in the Veneto region of Italy. The language is called vèneto or vènet in Venetian, veneto in Italian; the variant spoken in Venice is called venexiàn/venesiàn or veneziano, respectively. Although commonly referred to as an Italian dialect (diałeto, dialetto), even by its speakers, it displays notable structural and lexical differences from Italian proper, and is not a variant of the national language. It belongs only partly to the Northern Italian group within Romance languages.
On March 28, 2007 the Regional Council of Vèneto officially recognized the existence of the Venetian Language (Łéngua Vèneta) by passing with an almost unanimous vote a law on the "tutela e valorizzazione della lingua e della cultura veneta" (Law on the Protection and Valorisation of the Venetian Language and Culture) with the vote of both governing and opposition parties.
Venetan proper can be distinguished from Venetian Italian, the variety of Italian influenced by local Venetian features that is also spoken in the region. Compare:
Venetian should also not be confused with Venetic, an extinct Indo-European language that<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=545504 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
