Anonymous writes "Rebecca Posner a l'ha scrivù ant el lìber 'The Romance Languages' [2008: 212] :
Italian was adopted as the ‘national language’ to mould the very diverse regions of Italy into one cohesive polity.
The doctrine adopted was that dialects of Italy must be ‘Italian dialects’, with close historical and cultural affinity.
[…]
Objective criteria for the affiliation of dialects were ignored.
Marc Tamburell a l'ha giontà:
Many Italian 'linguists' still abide to that doctrine today."
