File Zimbern.png thumb Map of northern Italy showing the location of the Seven Communities The Seven Communities Cimbrian language Cimbrian Siben Komoin , lang de Sieben Gemeinden , lang it Sette Comuni were a group of municipalities in the Veneto region that spoke the Cimbrian language , a dialect of Upper German , as their native tongue. The municipalities are located on a high plateau northwest of Vicenza .

They were historically under the suzerainty of the Milanese House of Visconti and then under the Republic of Venice . Under both they enjoyed wide cultural and political autonomy in exchange for their loyalty. The autonomous status came to an end with the Napoleonic Wars and the demise of the Seren sima in 1807. Due to the high pressure from the Italianization from fascists such as Ettore Tolomei and the government of Benito Mussolini did the Cimbrian language eventually almost completely disappear and become extinct. Only in Rob an and its district Mittebald Toballe Mittewald, Mezzaselva has Cimbrian survived. Rob an has the cultural institute Agustin Prunner which is a repository of the Cimbrian culture and cooperates with other linguistic enclaves in Lusern, Fersental, Sappada, Sauris, the Thirteen Communities and Timau. Vestiges of the once dominant language are family and place names, which are mostly still Cimbrian.
