Nowadays, Italian is spoken by 70 million and is an official language in Italy, Vatican City, San Marino and across several Swiss cantons. Italian is recognized as the second official language in a few counties of Croatia and Slovenia dominated by the Italian-speaking population.

Italian is a Romance language in the Indo-European language family, stemming from the Ancient Rome. At that time it was a mix of dialects also called as Vulgar Latin. However, the Renaissance period saw it rising in a single literary form. The predecessor of modern Italian is the ancient Florentine dialect (initially adopted as a literary language and then as an official one) which widely spread across the whole of Italy, owing to tremendous influence exerted by three authors of the 14th century Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio.

Italian is peculiar for its number of dialects such as Lombardic, Piedmontese, Venetian, Roman, Neapolitan and others. Dialects may be so different from standard Italian to the extent that Italians may hardly understand the language of a neighbouring region. Apart from the dialects, there are several regional varieties of the Italian literary language.

In phonetics, Italian has a few features making it different from other Romance languages. Its vocalism, abundant vowels and words ending in nearly no consonants at all challenge the perception of Italian speech in an ill-prepared audience. In an Italian translation, provisions should be made for various forms of address to an interlocutor, agreement of articles and adjectives with nouns in gender and number, accurate use of articles and pronouns used in Italian more frequently than in other languages.
