Hoi,
When you think that Italy is the same as Tuscany then you are right.. The
map is however a wee bit bigger, and Ethnologue lists some 33 language for
Italy. There are enough Italian languages that have their own dialects...
and many of these dialects are considered not mutually understandable.
Thanks,
