This video was recorded by Nicola Peli in Lombardy. Her grandfather, Marco, is a native speaker of Brescian. He is talking about his youth and his grandchildren.

Lombard is spoken in the Lombardia region in Northern Italy, the South of Switzerland, and parts of eastern Piedmont and western Trentino. Lombard has about 3.5 million native speakers, and most speakers are also fluent in Italian given its prevalence in the region. While the localized varieties of Lombard are mutually intelligible, their usage varies greatly. In Lombardy, this ranges from rarely used to seeing daily use. In Switzerland, the dialects of Lombard tend to be used more openly, with some entertainment only being produced in Lombard varieties. In both countries, Lombard does not have official recognition. In Brescia, Lombard is used more frequently than in other parts of Lombardy for day-to-day conversation and commerce. The history of the Lombard language is still being studied. It is understood that the Celts influenced it, and much of the language has been traced back to Latin - the predecessor Germanic languages changed due to contact with both the aforementioned Celtic tribes and the Byzantine Empire’s variety of Latin. Furthermore, the different varieties of Lombard are often products of sociolinguistic influence, such as surrounding languages and prestige. Notably, Bresciano features vowel harmony in regards to height, where unstressed vowels preceding a stressed close one adjust to match the stressed close vowel. While there is some debate over if some dialects of Lombard are separate languages instead, Nicola considers Bresciano to be a Lombard variety.
