You was taking about "italian" and not "dialect" (that are another thing) in 
Italy we have only one official language the "italian" (except for some 
country with a specific "statuto") and that language it's a direct 
derivation of the "toskany Vulgar". May be for an italian is much easy know 
this part of our history, becaouse we learn it at school.........

Senpai
