Talian (or Brazilian Venetian)[2] is a dialect o the Venetian leid, spoken primarily in the Serra Gaúcha region in the northeast o the state o Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. It is spoken in ither pairts of Rio Grande do Sul an aw, as well as in pairts o Espirito Santo[3][4][5][6][7] an o Santa Catarina.

Despite the similar names, Talian is no derivit frae staundart Italian (actually cried grammatical Italian in Brazil), but is mainly a mix o Venetian dialects influencit bi ither dialects o Northren Italy as well as local Portuguese.

History[eedit | eedit soorce]

Italian settlers first began arrivin intae these regions in a wave o immigration lastin frae approximately 1875 tae 1914.[8][9] These settlers wur mainly frae Veneto, a region in Northren Italy, whaur Venetian wis spoken, but frae Trentino an Friuli-Venezia Giulia an aw.[8][9] In the sooth o Brazil these immigrants settled as smawhauders in the region o Encosta da Serra. Thare they creatit three dounsets: Conde D'Eu (nou, Garibaldi, Rio Grande do Sul), Dona Isabel (nou Bento Gonçalves, Rio Grande do Sul), an Campo dos Bugres (nou Caxias do Sul).[10] As mair fowk arrivit, the Italian dounset expanded ayont these localities.[10] Approximately 100,000 immigrants frae Northren Italy arrivit atween 1875 an 1910. As time went bi, a uniquely soothren Brazilian dialect emergit. Veneto became the basis for Italian-Brazilian regionalism.

Talian wis vera hintle influencit no anerly bi ither Italian leids but bi Portuguese, the naitional leid o Brazil. Housomeivver, acause its grammar an lexicon remain predominantly Venetian, Talian is no considered a creole leid, the preponderance o nan-Venetian loanwirds nowistaundin. It haes been estimatit that thare hae been 130 beuks published in Talian, includin wirks o baith poetry an prose.[11]

Like Riograndenser Hunsrückisch (hunsriqueano riograndense), the main German dialect spoken bi soothren Brazilians o German oreegin, Talian haes suffered great deprecation syne the 1940s. At that time, then-Preses Getúlio Vargas stairtit a campaign o naitionalisation (similar tae the Nacionalismo o neebourin Argentinae) tae tree tae force nan-Portuguese speakers o Brazil tae "better integrate" intae the naitional mainstream cultur. Speakin Talian or German in public, especially in eddication an press, wis forbidden.

Current status[eedit | eedit soorce]

Talian is mainly spoken in the soothren Brazilian states o Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina an Paraná, as well as in Espirito Santo.[3][4][5][6][7] Nouadays, thare are approximately 3 million fowk o Italian ancestry in Rio Grande do Sul, aboot 30% o the local population,[10] an approximately 1.7 million fowk in Espirito Santo, which accoonts for 65% o the local population.[12] Accordin tae some estimates, thare are up tae ane million speakers o Talian the day; Ethnologue reportit 4,000,000 speakers in the year 2006.[1] Durin the "Novo Brasil" period o the govrenment o Getúlio Vargas, the uise o Talian wis declared illegal.[13] As a result o the traumas o Vargas' policies, thare is, even tae this day, a stigma attached tae speakin these leids. However, in 2009, the state of Rio Grande do Sul appruivit a law declarin the Talian leid tae be an integral pairt o the historical heritage o the state.[10] In 2009, the ceety o Serafina Corrêa, in the State o Rio Grande do Sul, electit Talian as co-offeecial leid, alangside Portuguese.[14][15]

Feenally, in 2014 Talian wis declared tae be pairt o cultural heritage o Brazil (Língua e referência cultural brasileira). Accordin tae the figur gien in this occasion, thare wad be aboot 500,000 active speakers in 133 touns.[16]

Newspapers in the Talian-speakin region featur airticles written in the leid. Thare are approximately 500 radio programs broadcast in Talian.[11]
