The dialects of L'Aquila Province are not related with southern dialects, but are part of Osco-Umbrian family, such as the dialects of Latium, Umbria and a part of Marche. I removed the word "official" before dialects because dialects are never "official", but only a local way to spell Italian, without any official recognition.
