User:S.vecchiato/Franco-Venetian language

The Franco-Venetian language was the language of culture widespread in northern Italy between the subalpine belt and the lower Po between the 13th and 15th centuries: this language was a mixture of French words with syntax and morphology typical of northern dialects, and in particular of the Veneto region. Franco-Venetian literature, also known as Franco-Italian literature, mainly consists of knightly poems and didactic works.

Marco Polo's "Il Milione" was originally written in Franco-Venetian, as well as the '"Entrée d'Espagne".
