The Questione Ladina is a scientific debate about an adequate model of categorizing several Romance languages or dialects spoken in the Alps. Basically, it is dealing with the question of whether Romansh, Ladin and Friulian form together a proper language sub-family, or if these idioms should be regarded as a part of a wider northern Italian dialect continuum. == History == The beginning of the Questione Ladina is marked by the publication of the ''Saggi ladini'' by Graziadio Isaia Ascoli (1829–1907), who identified the area between the Oberalp Pass and the Gulf of Trieste as a specific language area with some common characteristics and called the idioms spoken there ''Ladin dialects''. This theory gained a large circulation with the publications of the Austrian linguist Theodor Gartner, who, however, used ''Rhaeto-Romance'' instead of ''Ladin'' as an umbrella term.〔Ricarda Liver (1999), ''Rätoromanisch – Eine Einführung in das Bündnerromanische'', Tübingen: Gunter Narr, ISBN 3-8233-4973-2, p. 16〕 The idea of a ''Ladin unity'' found in Carlo Battisti (1882–1977) a strict opponent. Battisti demonstrated in several studies that the whole range of dialects in question showed only few common characteristics and were respectively closely related to neighbouring Lombard and Venetian varieties. The dialectologist Carlo Salvioni held similar view.〔Ricarda Liver (1999), ''Rätoromanisch – Eine Einführung in das Bündnerromanische'', Tübingen: Gunter Narr, ISBN 3-8233-4973-2, p. 16−17〕 Both the idea of a distinctive language sub-family and the denial of a ''Ladin unity'' still have strong proponents, the former especially among Swiss, German and Austrian, the latter among Italian linguists.〔 Ricarda Liver (1999), ''Rätoromanisch – Eine Einführung in das Bündnerromanische'', Tübingen: Gunter Narr, ISBN 3-8233-4973-2, p. 18 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Questione Ladina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
