Because Italian is a Romance language, it is related to languages like French, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian.
Italian is an official language in Italy, Switzerland, San Marino and Vatican City. Around 65 million people speak Italian as a native language.
Despite the fact that Italian is a relatively small language, it has had a great influence on other languages. Many languages have adopted Italian terms. In music, passages with different dynamics are denoted by Italian terms. A piece might start off with a quiet “piano” passage and, after an exciting “crescendo”, finish with a loud “forte” passage for the final bars.
And it is not only in music, but also in areas such as cooking and banking, that Italian expressions find international usage. You might hear an accountant in Germany speak of calculating the “Saldo”, while “pizza” and “pasta” are favourite dishes around the world.
