Milanese (Milanes, Milanées, Meneghin, Meneghìn) is the central variety of the Western Lombard language spoken in the city and province of Milan.
In Italian-language contexts, Milanese is often (like most non-standard Italian varieties spoken in Italy) called a "dialect" of Italian. However, linguistically, Milanese is not classified as a form of Italian. Milanese and Italian are distinct Romance languages and are not mutually intelligible. Like all dialects of Western Lombard, Milanese is a Western Romance language, related to French, Romansh, and to other Gallo-Italian languages.
Various dictionaries, a few grammar books, an extensive literature and a recent translation of the Gospels are available in Milanese.
