chau In Italy there are many different varieties of speech but they are not dialects of one single language; these dialects are often quite different from each other and they are grouped together based on their historical development, common features and their mutual intelligibility. They can be thought of as languages instead of dialects. As Standard Italian spread and began to replace the traditional regional languages, some features of those traditional languages made their way into Standard Italian in each area. This resulted in different dialects of Standard Italian, mostly different accents. Languages in Motion is pleased to provide professional translation and interpretation services for all localized and standardized Italian dialects.
Italian is not the only language of Italy, there have historically been many different local varieties of speech that developed from Vulgar Latin. These dialects can be grouped with other similar dialects. One of these dialects is Tuscan, dialect of Florence, which forms the basis of Standard Italian. The modern Tuscan dialects are spoken by 3.5 million people, mainly in Tuscany, part of Umbria, and a couple of locales on the island of Sardinia and Corsica. Standard Italian is spoken by Italy’s 60 million people. It’s now learned universally by Italians because it is the language of education and the media, and in many areas, especially urban areas, it has largely replaced the traditional regional languages. Traditional regional languages are used mostly amongst the elderly and in more casual speech, especially outside of the larger cities. The regional languages trend is fading.
Although Standard Italian is used throughout the country, many regions have their own version of the language. This includes the likes of Tuscan, Neapolitan, Sicilian, Venetian, Sardinian and Apulian. This means that what you say in one region might not mean the same in another!
Italian is one of the Romance languages, which includes the likes of Spanish, French, Portuguese and even English. This makes the translation between these languages easier as they have similar words and terms. We can help you by assigning you one of our certified Italian translators.
We use an effective localization strategy that ensures that the translation is accurate for the specific audience you’re targeting. We’ll ask you what your target audience is and align you with a translator or interpreter who has experience and knowledge in the region.
