- Italian
- ---------
- Italian is the national language of Italy and San Marino. It is spoken
- on the nearby islands of Sicily, Sardinia (though the Sardinian language
- itself is different), and Corsica. The language is also used extensively
- in Malta, Somalia, parts of Switzerland, and a few other countries. There
- are an estimated 4.5 million speakers of Italian in the United States,
- 1.3 million in Argentina, and an estimated half million in Brazil. Many
- speakers of Italian know only its dialect forms and have little contact
- with standard Italian except in school, though this is changing with
- increasing exposure to national television and radio.
-
- Standard Italian emerged during the 13th and 14th centuries as the
- dialect spoken around Florence. Its use by Florentine writers such as
- Dante established it as the leading dialect. Many other spoken dialects
- nevertheless persist, including Piedmontese, Lombard, Ligurian, Emilian-
- Romagnol, Venetian, Veronese, Trevisan, Paduan, Neopolitan, and
- Calabrian. Each city-state and region developed its own dialect and
- maintained it, while standard Italian became the accepted literary form.
