Italian is spoken by around 70 million people globally.It is an official language in Italy,Switzerland,San Marino,Slovenia,Vatican city,and the Istra county of Croatia.It is ranked among the top official languages of the European Union.As i said earlier it is very similar with latin or spanish.It is also spoken in other countries such as Australia,Argentina,Brazil,Canada.
Historically the first group of italian to arrive in UK was around 19th century and settled in different parts of the country this encouraged more settlers who were looking for jobs too, thats why there is a large population of italians in UK and USA.
In the UK a large population of italians live in Chelsea,Islington,Stpancras,Westminister,Kensington,Lambeth and year after year the are spreading more and more around the nation and contributing in the development of UK. Most people nowadays are very addicted to italian meals you will find them in italians restaurant meaning the coming of italians has led to introduction of new meals in UK. There is this interesting story was told by my uncle the Italian frag is green ,red and white which are also Christmas colours meaning that maybe Christmas originated from Italy ha. Here are some Italian words such as hi-ciao, Grazier- thanks and many more.
