Hoi, ??? I love Italy, some of my best friends are Italian. I even lived in Italy for a while. !!!!
It does however not change the facts about the Italian language. The notion that someone knows more a language or a country because he lives there or speaks the language is wrong. When I lived and worked in Great Britain, my spelling was better then the spelling of my colleagues and I have proof read their texts on many occasions.. Yes, I make mistakes but everything is relative. Thanks, GerardM

Hoi, FYI "Standard Italian, adopted by the state after the unification of
Italy,
is based on Tuscan dialect and is somewhat intermediate between Italo-Dalmatian languages of the South and Northern Italian dialects of
the
North." This is what the English wikipedia has to say about it. This indicates clearly that Italian was constructed at the time. Thanks, GerardM
Hoi GerardM, your opinions about Italy are always clear. But could you think that maybe some italians may know about their language MORE than en.wiki? Maybe, uh.
