Friuli-Venezia Giulia Autonomous Region[edit]
In Friuli-Venezia Giulia Autonomous Region, the territory in the scope of the protection and promotion of the Friulian language was determined pursuant to article 5 of the Regional Law no. 15 of 22 March[1] (Provisions on the protection and the promotion of the Friulian language and culture) and the Decrees of the President of the Regional Council no. 0412/Pres. of 13.11.1996 and no. 0160/Pres. of 20.05.1999. The provisions of the Regional Law no. 29 of 18 December 2007[2] (Provisions on the protection, value-enhancement and promotion of the Friulian language) also apply to the same territory, pursuant to article 3 of such Law.
As for Law no. 482/99 (Provisions on the protection of historical linguistic minorities), the applicable territory was defined in the Resolution no. 2680, dated 3 August 2001, of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia Regional Council, issued in compliance with article 1, paragraph 5, of the Presidential Decree no. 345 of 2 May 2001[3] (Implementing Regulation of Law no. 482 of 15 December 1999[4]), specifying that: “The actual existence of a minority shall be assumed when the municipality, or part of it, is included in the territory defined in a national or regional law before the date of the entry into force of the law and exclusively for the protected languages, as detailed in article 2”. The territory in the scope of this Resolution was determined pursuant to the Presidential Decrees of 1996 and 1999.
It must be noted that the Provinces of Udine and Gorizia officially issued Council Resolutions no. 91 of 15.12.2000 and no. 3 of 07.02.2001 respectively on the protection of the Friulian language. However, these provisions were superseded by the Resolution no. 2680 of 3 August 2001 of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia Regional Council.
Additionally, three provincial resolutions are relevant for the implementation of Law no. 482/99 only: Resolutions no. 6 and 28 of the Provincial Council of Gorizia, dated 12.03.2003 and 21.11.2003, including the municipalities of Monfalcone and Sagrado, respectively; and Resolution no. 86 of the Provincial Council of Udine on the municipality of Malborghetto-Valbruna.

Veneto Region[edit]
The protection of the Friulian-speaking minority in Eastern Veneto is based on the Regional Law no. 73 of 23 December 1994, which, in article 3, paragraph 1, point d), expressly includes “Friulian cultural associations based in the Portogruaro area” among the beneficiaries of grants.
As a result of the adoption of Law no. 482/99, Venice Provincial Council officially recognized the Friulian-speaking minority located in its territory, in the municipalities of San Michele al Tagliamento (resolution no. 2006/00032 of 20.04.2006), Teglio Veneto (resolution no. 2006/120 of 21.12.2006) and Cinto Caomaggiore (resolution no. 2006/121 of 21.12.2006). This recognition was the result of the resolutions of the three above municipalities which asked the Provincial Council to include their municipal territories into the scope of the provisions on the protection of historical linguistic minorities pursuant to Law no. 482/99.
However, these resolutions also established that the Friulian-speaking minority is located in the whole territory of the municipalities of the Portogruaro area, i.e. the municipalities of Cinto Caomaggiore, Concordia Sagittaria, Fossalta di Portogruaro, Gruaro, Portogruaro, S. Michele al Tagliamento, Teglio Veneto.
Therefore, as the territory where the provisions on the protection of historical Friulian linguistic minorities apply, pursuant to Law no. 482/1999, includes the above three municipalities, the resolutions of the Venice Provincial Council, also pursuant to the Regional Law no. 73/1994, have recognized that traditionally the Friulian language is also significantly spoken in another four municipalities of the Portogruaro area.
