Romagnol is the language of the Romance language family spoken by the inhabitants of modern Italy in Romagna (southeast of the modern province of Emilia-Romagna ) and in the north of the Marche region, as well as in the Republic of San Marino . Although this linguistic phenomenon is often called a “dialect”, it is not a variant of the Italian language, but an independent language that developed (under the influence of various historical and cultural factors) from colloquial Latin.
