Lecchese is a Western Lombard dialect spoken in the city and suburbs of Lecco (Lombardy). It has the characteristic, in contrast with the other Comasco-Lecchese dialects, to be influenced by Brianzöö, Valsassinese, Valtellinese and Bergamasque (an Eastern Lombard variety), for example in the use of vergót (coming from Eastern Lombard) instead of Comasco quajcòss (="something"). Another characteristic is the presence of close "e" instead of "i", and of close "o" instead of "u"; the use of desinences "-om", "-on" instead of "-amm", "-ã"; the use of desinence "-én" instead of "-ĩ"; the use of article "ul".
