Italian
Welcome to Italian at Mesa Community College!
Italian, or lingua italiana, is a Romance language spoken as a first language by about 63 million people,[4] primarily in Italy. In Switzerland, Italian is one of four official languages. It is also the official language of San Marino. It is the primary language of the Vatican City.[5] Standard Italian, adopted by the state after the unification of Italy, originates in Florence in the XIV century, with Dante Alighieri, the greatest Italian Poet and grammar scholar. Although local dialects are still present, the official language is now spoken by all Italians.
