About Italian
Italian is a Romance language that descended from the Vulgar Latin of the Roman Empire. It was heavily shaped by the literary works of Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio in the 13th and 14th centuries, whose Tuscan dialect became the basis for standard Italian. Approximately 68 million people speak Italian today.
Italian uses the Latin alphabet with 21 core letters and employs accent marks on vowels. It is the official language of Italy, San Marino, and part of Switzerland, with significant speaker communities in Argentina, Brazil, and the United States. An interesting fact is that Italy had very low rates of Italian usage at the time of unification in 1861, with most citizens speaking regional languages, and mass adoption of standard Italian only came with the spread of radio and television in the 20th century.
