About Venetian
Venetian is a Romance language spoken primarily in the Veneto region of Italy, including Venice. It developed from the Latin spoken in the Roman Empire and has been influenced over the years by contact with languages like Greek, through Byzantine rule, and by other Italian languages.
The number of native Venetian speakers is estimated at around 3 million. Venetian uses the Latin alphabet, and its literary tradition dates back to the medieval period, although it is not officially recognized as a distinct language by the Italian government.
One interesting fact is that Venetian was once a prestigious commercial lingua franca throughout the Mediterranean due to Venice’s influential maritime and trade empire during the Middle Ages and Renaissance periods.
