Monaco's official languages

Monaco's official language is French, reflecting its historical and geographical ties to France. Additionally, Monaco recognizes Monégasque, a regional dialect of Ligurian, as a national language used by some residents and in cultural contexts. Italian and English are also widely spoken due to Monaco’s proximity to Italy and its international community, but they do not hold official status. French is predominantly used in government, education, and media, serving as the main language for official and daily communication in Monaco.
