Ethnicity, Language, & Religion of Monaco
Ethnicity
Most of the people of Monaco are ethnically French, although there is a significant Italian minority. Despite these ethnic definitions, many people in Monaco claim to be "Monegasque," which isn't a distinct ethnicity, rather is a term used to describe someone born in Monaco, so can include someone who is ethnically Italian, French, or something else. The ethnic French are primarily a combination of Celts, Latins, and Germanic peoples, while the Italians are a combination of numerous historic peoples on the peninsula and are often considered to be Latin.
Language
The official language of Monaco is French, although Italian and English are commonly spoken both in business and in everyday transactions among the people and tourists alike. Being a very highly educated country, many people speak all three languages, or at least have a conversational understanding of a couple of them.
