Monegasque Language

Monegasque is a Romance language spoken in Monaco, derived from the Ligurian dialect of the Genoese language. It has its roots in the local history and culture, reflecting influences from Italian and Provençal languages. Although Monegasque is not widely spoken compared to French, it serves as a symbol of the Principality's cultural identity. The language has seen efforts for preservation and revitalization, including educational initiatives. While French is the official language of Monaco, Monegasque remains important for cultural heritage and local traditions.
