List of Languages of Italy
Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIS : List of Languages of Italy
Italy currently has one national language: Standard Italian. Many of the regional varieties of Italian spoken around the country are different enough from Standard Italian to be considered separate languages by most linguists and some speakers themselves, even though they are generally not standardized. Thus a distinction can be made between "dialects of (Standard) Italian" and "dialects and languages of Italy". Other languages spoken in Italy are completely unrelated to Standard Italian.
