Italian Language Details

• Regional varieties coexist with the standard language; some are completely unintelligible to other varieties unless the person is well versed in it. Aquilano, Molisano, and Pugliese are very different from the other Italian 'dialects'. Piemontese and Sicilian are distinct enough and are considered as different languages. Venetian and Lombard are also very different. Neapolitan is reported to be unintelligible to speakers of Standard Italian. Northern varieties are closer to French and Occitan than to standard or southern varieties.
• 89% lexical similarity with French, 87% with Catalan, 85% with Sardinian, 82% with Spanish, 78% with Rheto-Romance, 77% with Rumanian.
• Most Italians use varieties along a continuum from standard to regional to local according to what is appropriate. Possibly nearly half the population does not use Standard Italian as mother tongue. Only 2.5% of Italy's population could speak standard Italian when it became a unified nation in 1861.
• National language of Italy.
