Kaltxì, ma eylan.

So, i've been looking into the Venetian language.  Most of the resources i can find on the internet are in standard Italian, which is not a huge problem as i needed an excuse to dust off my Italian anyway...  But what's out there is really, really limited.  So, i was wondering if the linguists here would know of resources i wouldn't.  The focus is on grammar and vocab:  Pronunciation is not too much of a worry, as i've found enough audio that i should be alright there; but the only dictionary i've found thus far (Italian/Venetian, again not inherently a problem) is s***, and i've found only the barest snippets of grammar info, most of it terribly vague.

So, any ideas?

i must be horribly late, but just in case you're still looking for information.
weel, i'm a linguist and i live in venice. feel free to ask me about anything, however i can tell you that i don't think you'll be able finding anything useful on the web to learn venitian, unless you're proficient in italian. even because this dialect is pretty similar to italian, so either you can find guides explaining differences with italian, either you'll find grammar books for venitian native speakers.
anyway, if you have some specific question about come syntactic or lexical issues, feel free to ask :)
