Furlan standard

The main association to foster the use and development of Friulian is the Societât filologjiche furlane, founded in Gorizia in 1919.

A challenge that Friulians share with other minorities is to create a standard language and a unique writing system.

The regional law 15/1996 approved a standard orthography, which represents the basis of a common variant and should be used in toponyms, official acts, written documents.

Recently two movies have been made in Friulian (Tierç lion, Lidrîs cuadrade di trê), with positive reviews in Italian newspapers.

Only the Italian is official and used in administration, although it is widely expected that the Friulian ones will receive partial acknowledgement in the near future.
