Languages of Monaco

Monégasque is the traditional national language of the Monegasque people (who represent only 21.6% of the total population[1]).

During his accession ceremonies in 2005, Albert II, Prince of Monaco, made a speech to his people in Monégasque.

Princess Grace was born an American, and all three of her children (including the reigning Prince) grew up speaking English among other languages.

Occitan (Lenga d'òc) has also traditionally been spoken in Monaco, particularly when it covered a larger geographical territory, but is rarely used today.

Intemelio is a Ligurian dialect spoken historically from the Principality of Monaco to the Italian province of Imperia.
