The Tuscan
dialect (dialetto toscano) or the Tuscan
language (lingua toscana) is an
Italian dialect spoken in
Tuscany,
Italy. It wandered less than other dialects from the
Latin language and evolved linearly and homogenously, without major influences from other foreign languages.It is the basis dialect for the
Italian language, thanks to the masterpieces of
Dante Alighieri,
Francesco Petrarch,
Giovanni Boccaccio,
Niccolò Machiavelli and
Francesco Guicciardini, making it the "literary language" of the peninsula. When the Kingdom of
Italy was proclaimed in
1861, a unique national language was needed to communicate among Italian regions, in which people spoke different dialects or languages. With the support of the writer
Alessandro Manzoni, the literary version of Tuscan dialect was chosen.
