Line 37:
The presence of Italian people is very substantial above all in [[Latin America]]. In this case the presence of Italian language, most of all its northern dialects, is abundant in Venezuela, Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. Here the Spanish and the Portuguese languages are influenced by Italian particularly in some parts of these countries (i.e. [[Rio Grande do Sul]], [[Cordoba]], [[Chipilo]] etc.).
In the United States, Italian speakers are most commonly found in five cities: [[Boston]], [[Chicago]], [[Miami]], [[New York City]], and [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|Philadelphia]]. Each have populations of at least 50,000 native Italian speakers.
Italian is widely taught in many schools around the world, but rarely as the first non-native language of pupils. In anglophone parts of [[Canada]], Italian is, after [[French language|French]], the third most taught language. In the [[United States]] and the [[United Kingdom]], Italian ranks fourth (after [[Spanish language|Spanish]]-French-[[German language|German]] and French-German-Spanish respectively). Throughout the world, Italian is the fifth most taught non-native language, after [[English language|English]], French, Spanish and German [http://www.iic-colonia.de/italiano-2000/Indice.htm].
