The Ladin Wikipedia should not be confused with the Ladino Wikipedia (another name for Judaeo-Spanish Wikipedia) or the Latin Wikipedia.

History

The Ladin Wikipedia started as a project on Wikimedia Incubator in 2005.[2] Due to the existence of many dialects of the ladin language and weak spread in standard ladin usage, it took a long time to become a definitive project of Wikipedia: about 15 years from the creation of the project and 3 years from the beginning of the participation of the institutions.[3][4] In fact it reached its first 1000 articles on 14 November 2019, while it was still a test wiki on Wikimedia Incubator.[5]

Features

The articles can be written in standard ladin (Ladin Dolomitan) or in one of the five different dialects: Gherdëina, Badiot, Fascian, Fodom, Anpezan (the latter two are almost never used).[6]

Because of linguistical reasons, it is closely related to Romansh Wikipedia and Friulian Wikipedia.[7]
