Italian Italiano, romance language spoken by some 66,000,000 persons, the vast majority of whom live in Italy including Sicily and Sardinia. It is the official language of Italy, San Marino, and (together with Latin) the official language of Vatican City

The sound of Italian is quite similar to that of Latin or Spanish. Its grammar is also similar to that of the other modern Romance Language, showing agreement of adjectives and nouns, the use of definite and indefinite articles, loss of noun declension for case, two genders (masculine and feminine), and an elaborate system of perfect and progressive tenses for the verb. The most notable difference between Italian and French or Spanish is that it does not use -s or -es to form the plural of nouns but instead uses -e for most feminine words and -i for masculine words (and some feminine words). Italian, as we know it today, was meant to enchant, charm and beguile. It is because this language was created by poets – artists who left their mark on the country by shaping its signature sound. the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V allegedly said, “I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men and German to my horse.” Ciao.
