Vallassinese is variety of Western Lombard language spoken in Vallassina valley (about 6,000 speakers). It belongs to the Comasco-Lecchese group and it has many subdialects.

Valbrona subdialect has influences from Lecchese (Comasco-Lecchese group)

In Sormano, Caglio, Rezzago there are influences from dialect of Pian del Tivano (north), which has isolated characteristics (like the presence of ò instead of stressed a in all closed syllables, phaenomenon that you can sometimes see in Northern Brianzoeu but only in syllables closed by l) and from Laghée.
