}}Vastese (Vastese: Lu Uâʃtaréule or Lu indialett di lu Uašt, meaning "the dialect of Vasto") is a Romance language spoken in the town of Vasto. It is considered its own language based upon the mutual unintelligibility of it and Italian.[1] It is not spoken by any other town, even the nearby town of Cupello, which is only {{convert|9|km|mi}} away.[2]

History

Vastese's endonym- the name its speakers use for the language- is Lu Uâʃtaréule. This term is known to have originated in the sixth century AD.[1]

Demography

Today Vastese is spoken monolingually only by residents of Vasto in their 80s and 90s, bilingually by many residents in their 70s, and many middle-aged residents are passive speakers, while most younger residents have no comprehension.[1]

The Vasto Club in Australia is a club organized for migrants to Australia from Vasto.[2]

Phonology

Vastese has more vowel distinctions than Tuscan, Italy's official and standard language. It has vowels that are not in Italian, such as the open front unrounded vowel {{IPA|/æ/}}. Vastese uses an open back rounded vowel {{IPA|/ɒ/}} for the start of the word uâʃtə. It also uses the mid central vowel {{IPA|/ə/}}. Vastese also uses several diphthongs not used in italian such as {{IPA|/aʊ/}}, {{IPA|/eʊ/}}, and {{IPA|/aɪ/}}.[1]

The influence of {{IPA|/i/}}, {{IPA|/u/}}, {{IPA|/Ī/}}, or {{IPA|/Ū/}} upon {{IPA|/æ/}}, turns it into either {{IPA|/e/}} or {{IPA|/je/}}.[3]
