Vâlsoanin is a dialect of Arpitan (Francoprovençal) spoken in the Soana Valley, located in northwestern Piedmont, Italy.[1]
Description
Vâlsoanin encompasses the set of shared lexical and linguistic features characterizing the Franco-Provençal varieties of the Arpitan Valleys in northwestern Piedmont, as opposed to the neighboring Valdôtain dialect of the Aosta Valley.
Several Vâlsoanin lexical forms diffused into the wider Franco-Provençal linguistic continuum before later being incorporated into regional varieties of French-speaking areas.[2]
