The paper aims to analyze the linguistic evidence of the Cimbrian variety of the village of Foza in the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni (Vicenza), a Restsprache mainly known through the interviews conducted by B. Schweizer in the 1940s with the last two semispeakers. Firstly, the linguistic characteristics of the Foza variety will be examined, comparing it to other Cimbrian dialects spoken in the Sette Comuni area. Secondly, the paper will underline the challenges of working with linguistic evidences furnished by semispeakers, since the determination of the authenticity for each datum is not always easy.
