Mòcheno speakers reportedly partially understand Bavarian, Cimbrian, or Standard German.
However, many essential differences in grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation render it difficult for speakers of Standard German to understand.
Starting in the 1990s, various laws and regulations have been passed by the Italian parliament and provincial assembly that put the Mòcheno language and culture under protection.
School curricula were adapted in order to teach in Mòcheno, and Italian street signs are being changed to bilingual Mòcheno/Italian.
