Article
Overall, I'd say this article is pretty informative, but it really lacks citations and does not flow at all. All in all, this article really needs to be cleaned up and expanded; thus, I'm willing to help, but we need more contribution. :P I tried doing a search for 'Ligurian Language' on Google and Yahoo!, but it did not result in much information. Anybody know anything else pertaining to this language? --72.223.63.167 (talk) 19:13, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
Furthermore, is Monégasque a dialect of Ligurian? --72.223.63.167 (talk) 19:15, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
De Andre did not sing in Ligurian but in Genoese. --87.65.205.89 (talk) 23:14, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
- Genoese is a Ligurian dialect. In fact, the term "Ligurian" is a fairly recent invention to designate what was previously referred to as Genoese, so as to take into account the diversity of the group and not restrict it to an outshoot of Genes. Genoese is now considered a Lugirian dialect among others.
Reference
The previously quoted author Sue Wright can hardly be considered a "scholar" in that particular field, with all due respect. In fact, her piece appears to be another attempt to spread the irredentist disinformation that the Nissard people are Ligurians who were made to speak occitanic by the French after 1860... within a generation! Interesting concept, especially when you know that the French have always made every effort to suppress occitanic. You'll find a wealth of serious publications on the dialectology of that region in the presses of Southeastern French and NorthWestern Italian universities. It is indeed a widely studied subject! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.69.91.129 (talk) 09:02, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
I know many things about this language 'cause I can speak it, what do you need to know?
(Geonese and Monegasque are both dialects of Ligurian, so De Andrè sang in Ligurian),
Marco
Ligurian wasn't the native language of Christopher Colombus, his mother tongue was Catalan and he was from the Kingdom of Aragon, in Spain
Current studies show Christopher Colombus is not Italian. So, could anyone remove Christopher Colombus from the notable native speakers of the Ligurian language?
