Piedmontese (Piemontèis)
Native to: Italy
Region: Northwest Italy: Piedmont, Liguria, Lombardy, Aosta Valley
Native speakers: 700,000 (2012)
Language family: Indo-European (Romance)

is spoken by some 700,000 people mostly in Piedmont, northwestern region of Italy. Though considered by many linguists a separate language, in Italy it is often considered an Italian dialect. It is linguistically included in the Gallo-Italic languages group of Northern Italy (with Lombard, Emiliano-Romagnolo and Ligurian), which would make it part of the wider western group of Romance languages, which also includes French, Occitan, and Catalan. It is spoken in Piedmont (except in the part east to Sesia), Liguria (northwest part near Savona) and Lombardy (some municipalities in the westernmost part of Lomellina in the Pavia province).

It has some support from the Piedmont regional government, but is considered a dialect rather than a separate language by the Italian central government.

Many emigrants who, in the period from 1850 to 1950, left Piedmont for countries such as France, Brazil, the United States, Argentina and Uruguay were native speakers of Piedmontese.

The first documents in the Piedmontese language were written in the 12th century, the sermones subalpini, when it was extremely close to Occitan. Literary Piedmontese developed in the 17th and 18th centuries, but it did not gain literary esteem comparable to that of French or Italian, other languages used in Piedmont. Nevertheless, literature in Piedmontese has never ceased to be produced: it includes poetry, theatre pieces, novels, and scientific work.
