Comment: I am not an expert in history, but I am confused on how this is different than the one described in the Lombards. I think an explanation in the draft would be helpful. 👍 Ca ^{talk to me!} 00:22, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Lombards (Lombard: lombarcc) are a Romance ethnolinguistic group which descends from a Germanic tribe. Lombards are prevalent in Lombardy and other neighbouring regions, like Piedmont and Trentino. The term Lombard is a demonym for one from Lombardy.

Culture

Heritage

The Lombards descend from a semi-nomadic Germanic tribe called the Longobards, also referred as the Lombards too.^[1]^[2] They settled in Northern Italy in the mid-6th century and merged with the Latins, becoming the modern Lombards today. Examples of words from the Longobards' tongue that survive include the modern Lombards' name, which comes from Proto-Germanic *langaz and‎ *bardaz.^[3]

Languages

The ancestors of the Lombards spoke a Germanic language called Lombardic or Langobardic, which was extremely similar to Old High German. However, their language was put in disuse around the seventh century, due to Vulgar Latin replacing it. By the 13th century, the Latin vernacular had become Old Lombard. Old Lombard became modern Lombard.^[4] No records exist in Lombardic, and thus is a Trümmersprache.

Dances and music

The Bergamask is a popular dance associated with Bergamo, known for its melody and chord progression. Cremonese Lombard families such as the Guarneris, Amatis, Stradivaris, and Bergonzis and are well-known for being luthiers and their mark on violin making.^[5]

Emigration

By 1976, Lombardy was 4th place in highest number of immigrants in Italy.^[6]

North America

During the mass emigration of the United States, miners and labourers made up most of the Lombard population who came to the country.^[7] These people mostly settled in St. Louis, Herrin and Rockford, Barre, Walla Walla, San Francisco, and other areas in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.^[7] In Canada, most Lombards moved to Ontario and areas in British Columbia and Alberta.^[7]

Europe

Many Comaschi left their jobs in Great Strike of 1888 and the majority went to work in factories in Lyon and Zürich.^[8] Many Northern Italians, which might include Lombards, migrated to Sicily and are called "Lombards of Sicily", though most of these people come from neighbouring areas in Northern Italy, which was collectively known as "Lombardy" at the time.^[9]
