What is italian i?

Italian is a Romance language that is spoken as a native language by around 85 million people worldwide, primarily in Italy and parts of Switzerland, Slovenia, San Marino, and Vatican City. Italian is also widely spoken as a second language in many countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Canada, the United States, and Australia.

Italian is one of the official languages of the European Union and the United Nations and is a language of culture, music, art, and fashion. It is known for its beautiful sound, musical intonation, and expressive hand gestures.

The Italian language has a deep history and influence from Latin, Greek, and other Romance languages such as French and Spanish. It features seventeen vowels, twenty-three consonants, and a relatively simple pronunciation system with words generally pronounced as they are written.

Italian is taught as a second language in many schools and universities around the world, with the Italian cultural and language institutes (DANTE) representing Italian culture to the rest of the world.
