This is the fifth lesson in our study of the Friulian language using the book Lis predicjis dal muini by Josef Marchet.
Follow the links in Learn Friulian 1 to read the entire book in PDF form and to listen to the audio, made available online by the Societât Filologjiche Furlane.
The Friulian notes below relate to the first two sentences of the third paragraph of the Preambul, which begin with cheste veretât and end with il Comun di Scufons.
