In this episode of the Romance languages Mutual intelligibility show we feature the Ligurian language or Genoese as it's called by some. We're going to see if Catalan, Galician and Spanish speakers can understand this endangered language spoken in Northern Italy, Corsica, Sardinia and parts of the Mediterranean coastal zone of France. The participants of this language challange have to guess the words described to them in Ligurian and they can communicate with each other using only their native languages. In my show I try to represent minority languages as much as I can so check out the other videos on my channel if you want to see more.
