Friulian is spoken by about 800,000 people. Estimates run from 420,000 to 600,000 and are falling; the language is officially recognised in Italy but transmission is patchy.

On our measured language map, its closest relatives are Corsican, Lombard and Italian. If you speak one of those, much of the vocabulary will feel familiar from day one.

How the course works

Every lesson is built from 2,000 real Friulian sentences, aligned with their translations word by word and piece by piece, so you always see how the sentence actually works instead of memorizing flashcards. The grammar is discovered from the sentences themselves, 1,671 patterns so far, and a spaced-repetition quiz teaches it in the order that unlocks the most of the language first. Our measured estimate for reaching conversational level from English is about 782 hours of study. Read how it works.
