STATUS OF THE LANGUAGE
STATUS DE LENGHE
Legally and socially recognized, regarded culturally as an ordinary language, in daily use in the various spheres of modern life but considered to be an endangered language, owing to poor systematic transmission between generations.
Lenghe ricognossude par leç e a nivel sociâl, considerade a nivel culturâl tant che lenghe normâl, fevelade ogni dì ancje in ambits diviers de vite moderne ma che e je in pericul par vie de mancjance di trasmission intergjenerazionâl.
STATUS AT THE UNIVERSITY
STATUS TE UNIVERSITÂT

Friulian is not yet taught at university level, but this is not due to a theoretical principle, since some courses study specific topics related to the language. An Interdepartmental Centre has been established to develop the Friulian language and culture, as well as the Association of Friulian Science and Technology.

Il furlan nol è ancjemò une lenghe curicolâr ma no son preclusions a nivel teoric; a vegnin proponûts ancje cors là che si tratin argoments specifics de lenghe. Ta chest ambit a esistin il Centri Interdipartimentâl pal svilup de lenghe e de culture furlanis e la Societât Sientifiche e Tecnologjiche Furlane.
