Claim: Monégasque, a dialect of Italian and the national language of the Monegasque people, is among the languages of Monaco.
Evidence: Monégasque (Ligurian: munegàscu, Italian: monegasco, French: monégasque) is the dialect of Genoese spoken in Monaco, where it is considered a national language, even though it is not the official language of the country (Monaco's official language is French). Ligurian or Genoese (ligure or zeneize) is a Gallo-Italic language spoken primarily in the territories of the former Republic of Genoa, now compromising the region of Liguria in Northern Italy, parts of the Mediterranean coastal zone of France, Monaco (where it is called Monegasque), the village of Bonifacio in Corsica, and in the villages of Carloforte on San Pietro Island and Calasetta on Sant'Antioco Island off the coast of southwestern Sardinia. French is the official language; Italian, English, and Monégasque also are spoken.
