The Marchigiano one is a Romance language spoken in the region of Marche, in Italy, in a zone which includes the provinces of Ancona, the Macerata's one and the Fermo's one. It is one of the Central Italian dialects, and considered connected to Umbrian dialects and Tuscan dialect much more in the northern part. There are notable grammatical and idiomatic differences between Marchigiano and standard Italian language.

In itself Marchigiano is not uniform from town to town, so it is practically divided in three main parts :

• the Ancona's dialect
• the Fabriano's dialect
• the Macerata's dialect.
