Eastern Lombard is a group of closely related variants of Lombard, a Gallo-Italic language
spoken in Lombardy, mainly in the provinces of Bergamo, Brescia and Mantua, in the area around Cremona and in parts of Trentino.[2] Its main variants are Bergamasque and Brescian.[3][4]
In Italian-speaking contexts, Eastern Lombard is often called a dialetto (lit.'dialect'), understood to mean not a variety of Italian, but a local language that is part of the Romance languages dialect continuum that pre-dates the establishment of Tuscan-based Italian.
Eastern Lombard and Italian have only limited mutual intelligibility, like many other Romance languages spoken in Italy.
Eastern Lombard does not have any official status either in Lombardy or anywhere else: the only official language in Lombardy is Italian.
