===Language=== As with the other regions of Italy, the national language (since 1861) is Italian. However, because of its long and varied history, other historical languages have been used in this region for centuries. The local languages of northern and central Apulia (roughly the provinces of [[Province of Bari|Bari]], [[Barletta-Andria-Trani]], and [[Province of Foggia|Foggia]] as well as the northwestern parts of the [[Province of Taranto]]) are the Apulian Southern [[Italo-Romance]] dialects, including [[Bari dialect]] and [[Tarantino dialect]]. In the southern region of [[Salento]], an extreme Southern [[Italo-Romance]] language, the [[Salentino dialect]] is widely spoken. There is also an [[Italiot Greek]] language found in Salento called [[Griko]], which is still spoken by a few thousand [[Griko people]] in some areas.<ref name=":1">{{cite web|title=Ethnologue report for language code:ell|url=http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=ell|url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100528151907/http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=ell|archive-date=28 May 2010|access-date=22 April 2010|publisher=Ethnologue}}</ref> In addition, a rare daughter language of the [[Franco-Provençal language]] called [[Faetar]] is spoken in the mountain villages of [[Faeto]] and [[Celle di San Vito]], in the [[Province of Foggia]]. It is sometimes classified as a pair of dialects of Franco-Provençal, Faetar and Cellese.<ref name="Nagy 2011">{{cite journal|last1=Nagy|first1=Naomi|title=A Multilingual Corpus to Explore Variation in Language Contact Situations|journal=Rassegna Italiana di Linguistica Applicata|date=2011|volume=43|issue=1–2|page=3|url=http://projects.chass.utoronto.ca/ngn/pdf/Nagy_2011_RILA_HLVC.pdf |via=Computing in the Humanities and Social Sciences |access-date=3 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170204171730/http://projects.chass.utoronto.ca/ngn/pdf/Nagy_2011_RILA_HLVC.pdf|archive-date=4 February 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> The [[Arbëreshë people|Arbëreshë]] dialect of the [[Albanian language]] has been spoken by a small community since refugees settled there in the 16th century.<ref name=":2">{{cite web |url=http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=aae |title=Ethnologue report for language code:aae |publisher=Ethnologue |access-date=13 July 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121002125012/http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=aae |archive-date=2 October 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
