Mòcheno (Italian pronunciation: [ˈmɔːkeno]; German: Fersentalerisch; Bavarian: Bersntolerisch) is an Upper German variety spoken in three towns of the Bersntol (German: Fersental; Italian: Valle del Fersina), in Trentino, northeastern Italy.
Mòcheno is closely related to Bavarian and is variously classified either as a Southern Bavarian variety or a separate language of its own. It has also been posited that it may be descended from Lombardic (with influence from nearby dialects). Mòcheno speakers reportedly partially understand Bavarian, Cimbrian, or Standard German. However, many essential differences in grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation render it difficult for speakers of Standard German to understand.
