Italian Interpreter

Your Italian interpreter must be able to speak fluent Italian and at least one more language.

Italian or Italiano is what they class as a Romance language.  It is spoken as a native language by about 70 million people across the following countries - Italy, Malta, San Marino.  It is also used in Switzerland, Croatia, Slovenia and France.  Immigrant communities in the USA and Australia also keep their language alive. Many native speakers are native bilinguals of both standardised Italian and regional varieties and these regional varieties are what is very important in your Italian interpreter.

Your Italian interpreter should know that Italian derives diachronically from Latin and is the closest national language to Latin. Unlike most other Romance languages, Italian retains Latin's contrast between short and long consonants.

Italian Australians and Italian interpreters into English are very important to communication.  Italian Aussies are are one of the largest ethnic groups in Australia. The 2006 Census counted 199,124 persons who were born in Italy. Additionally, 852,417 individuals identified themselves as having Italian ancestry, either alone or in combination with another ancestry.  Italian is the fifth most identified ancestry in Australia behind 'Australian', 'English', 'Irish' and 'Scottish'. Italian is the second most utilised language at home, with 316,900 speakers (or 1.6% of the Australian population).[3] Italians arrived most prominently in the decades immediately following the World War II, and they and their children have had an impact on the cultural, social and economic life of Australia.  Source:  Wikipedia Italian Interpreter
