Editing Ladin language (section)

==Subdivisions==
A possible subdivision of Ladin language<ref>Mário Eduardo Viaro, ''O reto-românico: unidade e fragmentação. Caligrama. Belo Horizonte, 14: 101–156'', December 2009.</ref> identifies six major groups.

===Athesian Group of the Sella===
The dialects of the Athesian group (from the river [[Adige]] Basin) of the [[Sella group|Sella]] are spoken in South Tyrol:
* Gherdëina, spoken in [[Val Gardena]] by 8,148 inhabitants (80–90% of the population);
* Badiot and Maró, spoken in [[Val Badia]] and in [[Mareo]] by 9,229 people (95%), as native language.

The South Tyrolean dialects are most similar to the original Ladin.

===Trentinian Group of the Sella===
The names of the Ladin dialects spoken in the [[Fassa Valley]] in Trentino are Moenat, Brach, and Cazet. 82.8% of the inhabitants of Fassa Valley are native Ladin speakers;<ref>[http://www.minoranzelinguistiche.provincia.tn.it/binary/pat_minoranze/minoranze/ladini_mocheni_cimbri_pop_2001_x_comune_e_residenza.1205943234.pdf Tav.

===Agordino Group of the Sella===
In the Province of Belluno the following dialects are considered as part of the Agordino group:
*[[Fodom]], also called Livinallese, spoken in [[Livinallongo del Col di Lana]] and [[Colle Santa Lucia]], native language of 80–90% of the people;
*Rocchesano in the area of [[Rocca Pietore]]. While Laste di Sopra (Ladin ''Laste de Sora'') and Sottoguda (Ladin ''Stagùda'') are predominantly Ladin, in [[Alleghe]], [[San Tomaso Agordino]], and [[Falcade]] so-called Ladin-Venetian dialects are spoken, with strong Venetian influence;
* Ladin in the area of Agordo and [[Valle del Biois]], even if some regard it rather as Venetian-Ladin.

===Ampezzan Group===
Spoken in [[Cortina d'Ampezzo]] (''Anpezo''), similar to [[Cadorino dialect]].

Even in [[Valle di Zoldo]] (from Forno-Fôr upwards) there are elements of the Ampezzan Group.

===Cadorino Group===
Spoken in [[Cadore]] and [[Comelico]] and best known as [[Cadorino dialect]].<ref>[[Giovan Battista Pellegrini]], I dialetti ladino-cadorini, Miscellanea di studi alla memoria di [[Carlo Battisti]], Firenze, Istituto di studi per l'Alto Adige, 1979</ref>

===[[Nones dialect|Nones]] and Solandro Group===
In Western Trentino, in [[Non Valley]], [[Val di Sole]], [[Val di Peio]], [[Val di Rabbi]], and part of [[Val Rendena]], detached from the Dolomitic area, dialects are spoken that are often considered to be part of the Ladin language (Anaunic Ladin), but have strong influences from Trentinian and Eastern Lombard dialects.
