According to a recent study by Federlingue, the number of English words
in the Italian vocabulary and frequency of use has increased by 773 percent
over the past eight years. Federlingue, an umbrella group for language
services, translators, interpreters and language schools, conducted an online
survey among its users, over 100 business-to-business clients ages 25 to 50. In 84 percent of cases,
the survey revealed a wide use of English words and phrases mixed into spoken
and written Italian.
