Lombard is considered a [[minority language]] that is structurally separate from [[Italian language|Italian]] by both [[Ethnologue]] and the [[UNESCO]] ''Red Book on Endangered Languages''. However, Italy and Switzerland do not recognize Lombard-speakers as a linguistic minority. In Italy, that is the same as for most other minority languages,<ref>{{cite book |last=Coluzzi |first=P. |date=2004 |title=Regional and Minority Languages in Italy |series=Marcator Working Papers |volume=14}}</ref> which have been for a long time incorrectly classed as corrupted [[Regional Italian|regional dialects of Italian]]. However, Lombard and Italian belong to different subgroups of the Romance language family, and Lombard's historical development is not related to [[Standard Italian]], which is derived from Tuscan.<ref>{{cite book |last=von Wartburg |first=W. |date=1950 |title=Die Ausgliederung der romanischen Sprachräume |language=de |trans-title=The spin-off of the Romance language areas |location=Bern |publisher=Francke}}</ref> |
