↑Although the upper bound to the number of speakers is around 2,500,000,[حوالہ درکار] this figure represents more closely the number of people who can understand Western Lombard. Because of immigration (mostly to میلان) from other parts of Italy, the use of Western Lombard is very rare in western Lombardy and most people are not able to speak it fluently.[حوالہ درکار]
