Italian is a Romance language spoken as a native language by about 70 million people in Italy, San Marino and parts of Switzerland, Croatia, Slovenia and France. In addition, it is spoken by an additional 120 to 150 million people as a non-native language. Most native speakers are native bilinguals of both standardised Italian and regional varieties.
Italian and Italian dialects are widely used by Italian immigrants and many of their descendants living throughout Western Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, and Latin America (especially Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, and Venezuela). Italian is the third most commonly spoken language in Australia, with 1.9% of the population speaking Italian at home.
Italy enjoys a very high standard of living, and has a high nominal GDP per capita. It is a founding member of what is now the European Union and is part of the Eurozone. These factors combined with the prominence of the Italian language in various countries worldwide, indicates that Italian translation services can be a valuable component of your business strategy.
