Flag Of Ladins
The flag of Ladins is horizontal tricolour of blue, white, and green. The Ladin people are an ethnic group in northern Italy. In 2024, the Regional Council of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol recognized the flag, allowing it to be officially displayed in municipalities next to the Italian tricolour.

The name "Rhaeto-Romance" refers to the former Roman province of Raetia. The question of whether these languages actually form a subfamily is called the . The Italian linguist Graziadio Ascoli, writing in 1873, found them to share a number of intricacies and believed they formed a linguistic group. The Rhaeto-Romance languages differ from Italian in their evolution from Latin by having passed through a stage with phonemic vowel length, undergone certain consonant developments, and possibly developed a pair of central rounded vowels (now lost everywhere). If the subfamily is genuine, three languages would belong to it: Romansh in Switzerland, and Ladin and Friulian in Italy. Their combined number of speakers is about 660,000; the large majority of these (about 500,000) speak Friulian. Origin Bef ...
