Vajont ( Western Friulian: Vaiònt) is a comune (municipality) in the Regional decentralization entity of Pordenone, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, north-eastern Italy.
The municipality was founded in 1971 on the municipal territory of Maniago. [4] It was built to rehome the people evacuated from Erto e Casso after the Vajont Dam disaster of 1963.
In addition to the Italian language, the Friulian dialects Ertano and Cassano, originating from Erto e Casso, are spoken in the territory.
