Unfortunately my family settled down in Lombardy about 100 years ago, and
none of us speaks it, but today I've been able to find and buy a little
lexicon with a grammar, so here is it:

infinitive: ama^

present:
o ami
tu amis
al ame
o amìn
o amais
a amin

imperfect:
o amavi
tu amavis
al amave
o amàvin
o amavis
a amavin

remote past (Note: no other Northern Dialect has retained this tense):
o amai
tu amaris
al amà
o amàrin
o amaris
a amarin

future:
o amarai
tu amara^s
al amarà
o amarìn
o amare^s
a amaran

imperative:
ame
amait

gerund: amand
participle: ama^t

Need also subjunctives and conditionals?
