Monégasque (Ligurian: munegàscu; Italian: monegasco; French: monégasque) is the type of Ligurian spoken in Monaco, where it is the national language. Although it is not an official language of Monaco (which is only French), it does enjoy an official status, and it is taught in schools and is compulsory.
