One common classification divides these languages into two groups: The Italo-Dalmatian languages, including Neapolitan and Sicilian, as well as the Sardinian-influenced Sassarese and Gallurese which are sometimes grouped with Sardinian but are actually of southern Corsican origin.
Italiano, or the Italian language, is a Romance language of the Indo-European language family. Italiano or Italiana may also refer to anything originating from or associated with Italy: L'Italiano, weekly literary magazine between 1926 and 1942 in Italy.
