Tuscan Dialect

It has distinctive pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammatical features that set it apart from standard Italian. Historically, Tuscan served as the basis for the Italian language, especially through works like Dante’s literature. Today, it influences both the literary language and regional speech, maintaining cultural significance. While standard Italian is taught nationwide, many Tuscan speakers use this dialect in everyday conversations, preserving its unique identity and historical roots within Italian linguistic diversity.
