Monégasque (Munegascu)
Native to: Monaco
Ethnicity: 8,400 have Monegasque nationality (2016)
Native speakers: (ca. 20 cited for 1950) nearly extinct, but taught in school as a heritage language
Language family: Indo-European (Romance)

is the dialect of Genoese spoken in Monaco, where it is considered a national language, even though it is not the official language of the country (Monaco’s official language is French).

Monégasque is officially taught[4] in the schools of Monaco, but is the native language of only a handful of people. In Monaco-Ville, some street signs are printed in both French and Monégasque.

Forming a part of the Western Romance dialect continuum, Monégasque shares many features with the Genoese dialect. Though similar to the dialect of Ventimiglia, it does differ from the Menton dialect. It shares similarities also with the Niçard dialect of the Occitan language.

Monegasque, like all other Ligurian language variants, is derived directly from the Vulgar Latin of what is now northwestern Italy and southeastern France and has some influence in vocabulary, morphology and syntax from French and related Gallo-Romance languages, but most words are derived from Italian.

Before the annexation of the County of Nice to France in 1860, the Niçois spoke a dialect very similar to Monégasque.

If you are interested to see your native language/dialect to be featured here. Submit your recordings to [email protected]. Looking forward to hearing from you!
