The clashes, the endless controversy that arose at each meeting on trade, from that of Seattle, are beginning to ask questions perceived as decisive - even by people not involved - in everywhere on the planet.
What will become of this world, one wonders, nature, traditions, foods, customs, languages \u200b\u200bsometimes handed down since time immemorial?
The need for rapid communication, for example - time is money - in a world increasingly dominated by the obsession of immediate profits was not, now, that finding an obstacle, an obstacle in getting rid as soon as possible, in the infinite variety of languages \u200b\u200band dialects in our planet. Variety that he had found, so far, refuge in the huge difficulties posed by the movement or lack of tools such as telephone, fax, let alone the Internet. Now, talk to any place on earth is, in large part as possible. Our needs, moreover, have changed and what yesterday was completely unknown today has become, within a few years, we absolutely essential. Or there is this. The offer, whatever it was tremendously enlarged over time and this necessarily involves ever-closer contact with people in all parts of the world, these things we can offer them. And not only goods but also musiche di popoli sconosciuti, filosofie diverse dalle nostre e così via di seguito. E tutto questo, non può essere messo in dubbio, è un grande arricchimento per genti che come le nostre a volte, fino ancora a cinquant’anni fa, non vivevano troppo diversamente dai popoli primitivi, spesso abitando entro tuguri malsani, senza cibo né vera istruzione.
Ma come e in che modo il mondo, improvvisamente, giunge nelle nostre case? Qui sorge una legittima perplessità. Nessuno, difatti, può pretendere di conoscere a fondo tante culture tanto diverse e così, spinti perlopiù da un’effimera curiosità, ci accontentiamo di grossolane traduzioni (quasi sempre a loro volta mediate dall’inglese) di other ways of perceiving reality in other, even distant, parts of the world. Deepening is a word, it seems, more and more alien to our vocabulary and, therefore, as has happened in the case of certain so-called New Age or World Music, the illusion of what we study or feel is not that a kind of summing up the original sources used by those who would never have neither the time nor the constancy of studying. In this misty and nursing branch of information, not to have been critically examined by those who spread and those who receive it, often prove to be equally useless (and most foreboding of confusion) when we were not aware of, this alleged slaughter of all distance there are some who question arises of how it can preserve the original appearance of ancient cultures that now seriously at risk of disappearing. Yes, because the myth to communicate with anyone, anywhere has had the initial and immediate result of the need, as you said, to find a common language, and thus the possibility of survival of a language or a dialect depends now more than from the greater or lesser number of its speakers. This is an old problem, but the dramatic disappearance of languages \u200b\u200band dialects are witnessing in recent decades is unprecedented in history. Simply, who does not use a language spoken by at least a few million people is bound to be excluded, to live confined and locked in an island still when everything around him, becomes Ocean, currents in constant motion moving in any direction.
Yet these many languages \u200b\u200bspoken on our planet are all equally important examples of the variety of life, the report thousands of years, physical and spiritual, between the man and the places where he lived, so the loss of each of them also means the lost - irretrievably - a sentiment and a deep knowledge of things. And things are generally directed, but exactly the specific elements that make up a landscape and be limited to those trees and those animals, the rocks and the sky. The risk is therefore that, together with the words, you lose even what they name. And even here, in Friuli, the bleak, monotonous proliferation of houses and industrial buildings all too similar, from the sea to the tops of mountains carniche, sadly seems to prove it. Becomes, ie, easier to destroy that with which we no longer have a direct relationship: as in war, for example, where the first need is always been to create an unbridgeable gap between the parties. It becomes so easy, so, cut down a tree or build up a field if we have learned to know and feel the life that stirs in these things, if a tree or a lawn are not just two but have a vague name preciso, dato ad essi da persone che ne conoscevano ogni remota fibra o le centinaia di creature che da quelle erbe, tutte diverse, tutte con un proprio nome, traevano sostentamento o rifugio.
In questi anni, per puro e cieco calcolo opportunistico mascherato sotto il nome (anche qui significativamente generico) di Progresso, sono state eliminate dal pianeta migliaia di specie animali e vegetali, per non parlare degli innumerevoli disastri ambientali. È quanto è accaduto anche in una regione come la nostra quando, solo per fare un preciso esempio tra i tanti possibili, si decise che la pezzata rossa friulana, un’antica razza bovina di queste zone, non rendeva più e si scelse quindi, senza rimorsi, di sostituirla con altre razze considerate more profitable. Widespread until a few decades ago all of our barns, of this species (of which almost nobody is talking about) there are few models now that is always in danger of being killed or crossed with alien races.
The list of horrors could, if desired, continue for pages, as the specter of the "Corridor 5" which could permanently devastate the landscape of the Lower and what remains of Bisiacaria (after the airport, Central, etc. Shipyards. ) and a good part of the Karst of Trieste and Monfalcone.
As for some languages \u200b\u200bare considered particularly significant efforts have been made in Italy, to protect them with special laws protection. Read but perhaps if they succeed, as we have said will save only some of the languages \u200b\u200bat risk of extinction in our country. You must therefore, from this important but not at any point agreeable law, precisely those who benefited from this recognition and funding to it, to work actively to extend this work to safeguard diversity commitment to ensure that nothing of what characterizes deep in our country, is unfortunately missing.
remember about that, even if within the borders of the historical region of Friuli Friulian language is now certainly the best known and widespread for many centuries these territories were characterized by the presence of others (no less significant and worthy of protection) languages. We talk about the medieval German spoken in some parts of the meat and those - linked to the Slavic and Slovene depending on their age, physical isolation or historical reasons - the Val Reschen, the valleys of Natisone, up to the Monfalcone Karst. There are other three communities, whose talk was called "Venetian native" in the sense of places where the Venetian is not just the language adopted by the more affluent strata, as happened in the cities of Udine and Palmanova eg , but - at least at least four, five centuries - has become the language used by the majority of the population, from farmers to high bourgeoisie. We refer to towns like Grado and Marano and Bisiacaria, ie eight municipalities of Monfalcone. But you can not forget other important languages \u200b\u200bhere, such as Trieste, Pordenone and the other type of Venetian spoken in the region. As we know, Friulian, Slovenian and German have finally, with Law 482/1999 for the protection of linguistic minorities, their due recognition. They do not enjoy at present however, neither by the State or by Region, for any form of protection other languages \u200b\u200bmentioned just now. This even though it is parlate di straordinario interesse, secondo il parere di molti studiosi italiani ed esteri. Parlate ancora ricchissime di antichi termini veneti ma, anche, di alcuni straordinari relitti lessicali friulani e sloveni medievali. Si tratta, difatti, di vere e proprie “isole linguistiche” che hanno continuato ad impiegare, nel loro isolamento, parole altrove abbandonate ormai, a volte, già da alcuni secoli. Hanno impiegato questi linguaggi per dar voce ai loro sentimenti più profondi, tra l’altro, grandi poeti come il gradese Biagio Marin - tradotto in ogni parte del globo - fino ad arrivare tra gli altri, in anni più recenti, alla celebre cantante monfalconese Elisa, che ha esordito cantando in bisiaco. Tutti questi elementi dovrebbero be more than enough to propel our region to try to preserve this extraordinary heritage in every way - language and culture - which helps to strengthen it even stronger than his "best", I think, compared to other regions of the peninsula. Paradoxically, however, the laws for the protection of historical linguistic minorities have, especially on much of the political world, an effect opposite to what would be expected. The passage of this law did not coincide, in fact, an increase of sensitivity and attention to all those languages \u200b\u200bthat today, in an increasingly globalized world, are at risk of extinction. The law is 482 become for some, however, an excellent excuse to take no more - or look into ways to say the least laughable - all that has relegated the state (we hope not permanently!) in the limbo of "dialects". It says: "The state has made it clear which languages \u200b\u200bare worthy of being protected. Why should you waste time and public money to deal with the other? ". If these arguments were accepted, we would never have arrived, however, even with the current protection laws. As an example of the arbitrariness of these arguments apply to all, the case of Sardinia: Until 1995 the Italian government and always spoke exclusively Sardinian dialects, negating the dignity of language, while two years after the law was approved by the government on the Sardinian language (with the obvious consequence that no politician today would dare to define a Sardinian dialect).
But we strongly affirm that the disappearance of these languages \u200b\u200bin our region would be an irreparable loss. Despite this, organizations are committed to oblivion subtract these clips are often ignored and all their appeals fell on deaf ears. Yet logic would dictate that you give, first, a hand to those in greatest difficulty.
So, what is sought here is a further step forward in safeguarding the common of the astonishing variety that characterizes the Friuli Venezia Giulia Throwing, since d’ora, le basi per un serio piano di tutela delle parlate storiche regionali.
La sopravvivenza e la continuità delle cose può dipendere quindi dal nostro volerle o non volerle custodire e cercare di mantenerle in vita. È, in gran parte una questione di scelte. Dipende soltanto da noi, dalla nostra attenzione - traghettandole con la nostra opera vigile e costante di difesa verso il domani - se l’oblio avrà alla fine il sopravvento.
Il friulano, lo sloveno con le altre parlate slave, il tedesco e gli idiomi storici veneti: diademi luminosi e rari, di cui mai vorremmo vedere la nostra regione spogliata.
