• Italian is the third most common native language in the EU.
• Although a variety of Italian dialects have been around for hundreds of years, in the mid-nineteenth century, just under 3% of Italian residents could speak the Italian language we use today!
• Italian, or various dialects within the language such as Swiss Italian, make the cut for being the national language in Italy, Switzerland, Vatican City, San Marino, and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.
• As the fourth most studied language in the world, it’s no wonder that there is a demand for Italian translation.

Italian is a Romance language of the Indo-European family, having originally evolved from the Vulgar Latin of the Roman Empire during the Middle Ages, and has been acknowledged as the most direct descendent of the Latin language.

After the fall of the Western Roman Empire during 476 AD, there was a long period during which Latin remained the preferred language for written communication, such as literature and official documents. Vulgar Latin, on the other hand, was used amongst family and friends in daily life – ‘vulgar’ literally means ‘the language of the volgo’, or of the people.

The multiple regional dialects of Vulgar Latin spread extensively, with Sicilian poets popularising an authentic school of poetry that utilised Vulgar language – many Tuscan copyists started to translate poems into the Florentine Vulgar tongue.

The poetic movement Dolce Stil Novo expanded the themes that were being explored in Sicilian poetry, with the Tuscan-Florentine dialect entrenching itself as the literary language by the 14th century and becoming the basis for the Italian spoken around the world today.

Like many Romance languages, Italian can be quite complex. For example, it has different ways of saying ‘you’, depending on how well you know a person. Not to mention, there are countless other cultural nuances and terminology that need to be considered when translating a language into Italian.
