As a former component of the Austrian Empire, until 1918, the town, as was the rest of the Canal Valley, was overwhelmingly
Slovenian-speaking. Today the municipality speaks mostly Italian; German-speakers and Slovenes make up a small minority. In 1983 the town registered 84% Italian-speakers, 9% German-speakers and 7% Slovene-speakers. In 2012, the mayor put up multilingual signs in four languages, Italian, German, Slovene, and the regional minority language of Friulian
, saying "the inhabitants deserve to use their mother tongues freely."
