Ticinese (ticines, ticinées) is a comprehensive denomination for the Lombard language varieties spoken in Canton Ticino (Tessin).
The Ticinese koiné (Italian: koinè ticinese) is the Western Lombard koiné used by speakers of local dialects (particularly those diverging from the koinè itself, as e.g. Leventinese, etc.) when communicating with speakers of other Lombard dialects of Ticino, the Grisons or Italian Lombardy.
Some video and audio documents (interviews, recordings, etc. of writers from Ticino) in Ticinese varieties can be found at the following site: RTSI: Acquarelli popolari (please notice that the metalanguage of this site is Italian, and that some of the interviews are in Italian rather than in Ticinese Lombard).
