Italian becomes official language … of Italy
Posted on March 31st, 2007 by vicezilla
ROME (Reuters) - It’s official. The language of Italy is Italian!
While it might seem obvious, the Italian-ness of Italian has only just been enshrined in the constitution, with parliament voting this week to state that: “The Italian language is the official language of the Republic”.
Must have been a slow day in parliament! Thank God they didn’t vote Polish to be the official language, as was feared by some.
