	Italian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Italian is the official language of Italy and San Marino, and is an official language in Ticino and Grigioni cantons of Switzerland.
		The dialects of Italian identified by the Ethnologue are Tuscan, Piemontese, Abruzzese, Pugliese (Apulian), Umbrian, Laziale, Central Marchigiano, Cicolano-Reatino-Aquilano, and Molisan.
		Italian has few diphthongs, and so most unfamiliar diphthongs heard in foreign words (in particular, those with a first vowel that is not "i" or "u", or a first vowel that is stressed), will be assimilated as the corresponding dieresis (i.e., the vowel sounds will be pronounced separately: "strive" and "hive" will rhyme with "naïve").

	Italian - Wikibooks
		The Italian alphabet is similar to the English alphabet.
		Italian verb conjugations are straight forward; unfortunately, they vary radically depending on the tense and subject, and many are irregular.
		It sounds strange to an Italian to say "io dormo" instead of merely "dormo", but beginners frequently do so, and it doesn't cause any confusion; it may help one keep verbs straight at first, but specifying the subject explicitely all the time is a habit that should probably be dropped fairly quickly.
