Venetian Language

Venetian is a Romance language spoken primarily in the Veneto region of Italy, including the city of Venice. It has its roots in Latin and shares similarities with Italian, but it is distinct enough to be considered a separate language. Venetian has various dialects influenced by local cultures and history. It was widely used in trade and literature during the Republic of Venice's prominence. While Italian is the official language of Italy, Venetian remains an important part of the local identity and cultural heritage, with a significant number of speakers still using it in everyday conversation.
