Monégasque Language

The Monégasque language is a Romance language spoken mainly in Monaco. It evolved from the Ligurian dialects of the Italian Riviera and has influences from French and Italian. Although historically significant to Monaco's culture, the language is spoken by a small number of people today, as French is the official language. Efforts are being made to preserve Monégasque through education and cultural initiatives. The language reflects Monaco's unique identity and heritage, showcasing its historical ties to the region surrounding it.
