The South Tyroleans are a Germanic-German people, with some Italic-Italian admixture-influence but are ethnic majority German. The names and language say it all.
The native language breakdown in South Tyrol is as follows: 70% German, 25% Italian and 5% Ladin. Ladin is a Romansh language spoken in the Dolomite valleys of Val Gardena and Alta Badia. The school system in South Tyrol is separated into three languages. German or Italian is taught as the first foreign language.
South Tyrolean German (German: "Südtirolerisch" or "Südtirolisch", in the local Upper German (Bavarian) vernacular also referred to as "Südtiroulerisch" or "Sîdtiroul(er)isch") or Tyrolese is a dialect spoken in the northern Italian province of South Tyrol. It is generally considered to be a local variant of Southern Bavarian,[1] and has many similarities with other South German languages such as Austrian German. The difference between other Bavarian and South Tyrolean is the influence of Italian and Ladin in its lexicon.
