Tuscan (''dialetto toscano'' (:diaˈlɛtto tosˈkaːno)) is an Italo-Dalmatian lect mainly spoken in Tuscany, Italy. Standard Italian is based on Tuscan, specifically on its Florentine variety. Italian became the language of culture , thanks to the prestige of the masterpieces of Dante Alighieri, Francesco Petrarca, Giovanni Boccaccio, Niccolò Machiavelli and Francesco Guicciardini. It would later become the official language of all the Italian states and of the Kingdom of Italy, when it was formed. ==Subdialects== Tuscan is a dialect complex composed of many local variants, with minor differences among them. The main subdivision is between Northern Tuscan dialects and Southern Tuscan dialects. The Northern Tuscan dialects are (from east to west): * Fiorentino, the main dialect of Florence, Chianti and Mugello, also spoken in Prato and along the river Arno as far as the city of Fucecchio. * Pistoiese, spoken in the city of Pistoia and nearest zones (some linguists include this dialect in ''Fiorentino''). * Pesciatino or Valdinievolese, spoken in the Valdinievole zone, in the cities of Pescia and Montecatini Terme (some linguists include this dialect in ''Lucchese''). * Lucchese, spoken in Lucca and nearby hills (''Lucchesia''). * Versiliese, spoken in the historical area of Versilia. * Viareggino, spoken in Viareggio and vicinity. * Pisano-Livornese, spoken in Pisa and in Livorno and the vicinity, and along the southern coast as far as the city of Piombino. The Southern Tuscan dialects are (from east to west): * Aretino-Chianaiolo, spoken in Arezzo and the Chiana valley. * Senese, spoken in the city and province of Siena. * Grossetano, spoken in the city and province of Grosseto. Some scholars also include Corsican and its variety spoken in Sardinia as a direct offshoot from medieval Tuscan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tuscan dialect」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
