After posting about a grammatical construction in an Esperanto thread, of all places, I
got a couple PMs asking about Piedmontese resources, so I thought I'd post them here.
I tried to do a search to make sure I wasn't duplicating someone else's effort, but got
ODBC errors, so forgive me if these links have already been posted here before.
All of these resources are free and, if a PDF is available, downloadable. The teaching
language is Italian for most of these links.
There's a fairly complete text-based course at Nòste
Rèis (the link on the page is Breve corso online). There's no audio, but the
course has a pretty good pronunciation guide.
Probably the best overall grammar reference I've found is
Grammatica piemontese fornita
da Diego Casoni. There's also another complete
grammar reference, as well as some literature and idiomatic expressions at the
Libero.it site. I
highly recommend both these sites.
Vocabolari Italian piemontèis has a
pretty complete dictionary.
Finding genuine audio has been a chore, but
Vivaldi provides
a good reference point for pronunciation, and has examples of many different
Piedmontese dialects.
There are also a few blogs out there that are well worth reading. My favorites are:
Go Piedmont,
La còca dij bogianen ch'a bogio and
Ël mè Piemont. There are many
others, but you can find the links to those from these three blogs.
Also, Wikipedia offers some 50,000
articles in Piedmontese.
Hopefully these will be of use to anyone interested in the language.
EDIT: Sorry for the messy looking links. They appear to be working, though.
EDIT2: OK, I think I got the links' appearance sorted.
R.
