May 7, 2010, Newsletter Issue #263: Italian Dialects

Tip of the Week

With the political reunification of Italy and the degree of travel and relocation that began to take place, the need for a national language became all the more urgent in Italy. The need was met by the literary language, which had evolved as a standardized form of Florentine. Today, because of aggressive education programs, the literary language is used throughout the country for law, business, and education. The dialects are finding themselves relegated to home use, or between close neighbors in urban neighborhoods and villages.
