why learn italian
It is difficult to know the exact number of people who speak a language and largely depends on the historical moment and which institution is the source of the analysis, as the numbers can vary widely between one survey and another. In any case, the latest data on the study of Italian is surprising.
The news agency Agi and Il Sole 24 Ore report the publication of SIL International, Ethnologue. This provides statistics on thousands of languages of the world based on the number of speakers, dissemination and dialects and places Italian as the fourth language studied in the world, with 2.145.093 students in 115 countries.
This is actually a trend now consolidated for a few years, as the ranking saw the students moving from 1.7 million to more than two million.
At the European level data change with the English language studied by 97.3% of secondary school pupils and French by 33.8%. German follows with 23.1%, then Spanish (13.6%), Russian (2.7%) and Italian (1.1%).
Curiously, Italian is the most spoken language as a native speaker in several countries, 26 in total, due to the strong emigration of Italians abroad.
