Focus on Italian
- 64 million people speak Italian as a native language.
- The Italian language is based on what was originally a Tuscan dialect, in particular it’s literary style.
- Italian didn’t become an official, standardised language until the unification of Italy in 1861. Up until that point, each city state had spoken its own variation, with many being completely different.
- Fun fact – Aperol Spritz, originally a traditional aperitif served in Venetian bars, became the drink of the summer in the UK in 2018!
