Musei Vaticani[edit]

"Musei Vaticani" (not "Musaea Vaticana") is Italian, not Latin - just the first of many corrections that had to be made. Lima (talk) 14:26, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your sources are just too scarce for such sweeping changes. One would think we could find something of greater clarity. Thx in advance. El_C 07:24, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So that we can do something about it, what part do you consider most unclear? Lima (talk) 12:52, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry. Your hidden comment (<!-- -->) escaped my notice. I have now endeavoured to respond to it. Is it OK now? Lima (talk) 13:06, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Languages[edit]

In Vatican City the official language is Italian. All the mentions in the article about other languages spoken there are trivia: forgetting the oath in the four national swiss languages, which is nothing but Folklore, of course Swiss German guards maybe speak their dialect between them (but which one? A Walliser and a Schwytzer cannot understand each other), but the same is true about each other non Italian in the state. Then German should also be mentioned since Pope emeritus Benedict and his secretary are both German. And why Spanish? Because of the Pope? The article says that it is the mother tongue of a pope, but not that this pope (which btw speaks perfect Italian, since he is a sibling of Italian immigrants) speaks it in the city. The maximum of trivia is reached mentioning Romansh, a language on the verge of extinction whose speakers are largely protestant, and so ineligible to serve in the Swiss guard. If one wants to use the template, I suggest to limit the languages to Italian and Latin, which are the two languages really important for the state (and for the Church).
