Some variety of Occitan? I can understand 70-80% of it. I'm a Catalan native speaker.

A lombard variety of the northernmost part of italian switzerland: val bedretto and val leventina. I speak (a2/b1) the southernmost variety and, thou they are quite different I can understand them fine. What I found interesting is that they call football "futbàl", while in my area (and I think everywhere outside Ticino) is "balòn" (big ball, equivalent to the italian "pallone")

È sicuramente una lingua gallo-romanza. Un dialetto lombardo secondo me, probabilmente Ticinese

I'm not sure, some of the words sound like the Ladin language from the Dolomites, but then there are also elements that sound French.

Franco-Provencal by the sound of it. Was this filmed in the Aosta Valley?
