ROMANCE: ITALIAN & ROMANESCO
Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.
Italian is a Romance language from the Indo-European family that evolved from Vulgar Latin. It's the least divergent Romance language from Latin, along with Sardinian. Italian is an official language in Italy, San Marino, Vatican City, and parts of Switzerland. It has official minority status in Croatia and parts of Slovenia. The standard Italian language originated from 12th-century Tuscan literature, and its modern form was shaped by more recent developments, though its core grammar and lexicon remain similar to those used in 13th-century Florence.
Romanesco is a central Italian dialect spoken primarily in Rome and its surrounding areas. It is linguistically similar to Tuscan and Standard Italian but has distinct differences. Known for its vivid expressions and sayings, Romanesco is commonly used in informal settings, often alongside Standard Italian, in a diglossic context where speakers switch between the dialect and the standard language.
