Italiano – Facts about the Italian language

Italian is the official language of Italy and also has official status in Switzerland, San Marino, Slovenia, Somali Democratic Republic, Vatican City and Istria county of Croatia.  Approximately 80 million around the world people speak Italian, including in countries in Africa and Latin America.

Italian is most closely related to Sardinian and is grouped as one of the Romance languages.   The dialect of Tuscany has formed the basis of what is now known as standard Italian.  However, most Italians will speak one of the numerous regional dialects still active in Italy as their first language. 

Italian is written using the Latin alphabet. J, K, W, X and Y are not part of the standard Italian alphabet, but are seen in imported words. J may also appear in many words from different dialects. Italian also employs the use of acute and grave accents.
