Ladin ("Ladino" in Italian, "Ladin" in Ladin, "Ladinisch" in German) is a Rhaeto-Romance language spoken in the Dolomite mountains in Italy between the regions of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol and Veneto. It is closely related to the Swiss Romansh, Surselvan, and Friulian.

Ladin should not be confused with Ladino (also called Judaeo-Spanish), which is a Romance language derived mainly from Spanish, Hebrew, Turkish, and Greek.

It is spoken in:
*the following municipalities of the Province of Bolzano-Bozen:
**Urtijëi
**Santa Crestina Gherdëina
**Sëlva
**Badia
**Corvara
**La Val
**San Martin de Tor
**Mareo
*the following municipalities of the Province of Trento (Val di Fassa):
** Canazei (Ladin "Cianacei")
** Campitello di Fassa (Ladin "Ciampedèl")
** Mazzin (Ladin "Mazin")
** Pozza di Fassa (Ladin "Poza")
** Vigo di Fassa (Ladin "Vich")
** Soraga (Ladin "Soraga -or- Sorega")
** Moena (Ladin "Moena")

The Ladin spoken in the Fassa Valley (Ladin "Val de Fascia", Italian "Val di Fassa") is also subdivided into two further branches: "Cazét" (pronounced IPA| [kazɛt] ) is spoken in the northern half of the valley, whereas "Brach" (pronounced IPA| [brak] ) is spoken in the southern half. For example, in Cazét water is "ega" ("e" pronounced as IPA|/ɛ/), whereas in Brach it is "aga".
*the province of Belluno in:
**Livinallongo valley (Ladin "Fèdom", German "Buchenstein") and at
**Cortina d'Ampezzo (Ladin "Anpëz")

It is officially recognized in Italy and has some official rights in the region of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, while it does not have official status in the province of Belluno (Veneto region).
