	Italian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Italian was first formalised in the first years of the 14th century through the works of Dante Alighieri, who mixed southern Italian languages, especially Sicilian, with his native Tuscan in his epic poems known collectively as the Commedia, to which Giovanni Boccaccio later affixed the title Divina.
		Italian is the official language of Italy and San Marino, and one of the official languages of Switzerland, spoken mainly in Ticino and Grigioni cantons.
		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).

	CCSF Italian Language Program: Student Resources
		Students with Italian origins take up the language to be able to speak with their grandparents and explore family identity.
		Italian is a particularly rewarding language to study; it is easy enough in the early stages for the student to make himself/herself understood and to pass quickly on to the reading of printed matter, while advanced work reveals subtleties which engross the most sophisticated linguist.
