Information About

Monegasque Language




Monegasque Orthography generally follows Italian principles, with the following exceptions:

  • the ü is pronounced as in German , or as the French '''u'''.

  • the œ is pronounced as the French '''é''', and not like the French '''œu''' as in '''bœuf''', which is how œ is pronounced in Ligurian , which also uses the form '''ö''' to stand for this sound.

  • the ç is pronounced as in French (/s/): ''tradiçiùn'' comes from the French ''tradition'' and not from the Italian ''tradizione''.


Monégasque now has a flourishing literature.
