===Italian=== In Italian, the English loanword 'brunch' is generally used, though the neologism/calque {{wikt-lang|it|colanzo}} is increasingly popular, being derived from {{wikt-lang|it|colazione}} (breakfast) and {{wikt-lang|it|pranzo}} (lunch).<ref>{{Cite web|date=2018-08-20|title=brunch|url=https://aaa.italofonia.info/brunch/|access-date=2021-04-25|website=Dizionario delle alternative agli anglicismi in italiano|language=it-IT}}</ref> Even less common but occasionally used are {{lang|it|colapranzo}} and {{lang|it|pranzolazione}}, both derived from the same sources.<ref>{{Cite web|title=brunch β Wiktionary β Translations|url=https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/brunch#Translations|access-date=2021-04-25|website=en.wiktionary.org|language=en}}</ref> The usage of these terms varies in Italy, as different regions have different cultural definitions of mealtimes and their names. Traditional usage, particularly in northern Italy, included calling the first meal of the day {{lang|it|prima colazione}} (first {{lang|it|colazione}}), and the second meal either {{lang|it|colazione}} or {{lang|it|seconda colazione}} (second {{lang|it|colazione}}), as distinguished from {{lang|it|pranzo}}, the evening meal (now generally used as the term for the midday meal).<ref>{{Cite web|title=Italian Word of the Day: Colazione (breakfast) β Daily Italian Words|date=2 July 2020|url=https://dailyitalianwords.com/italian-word-for-breakfast-colazione/|access-date=2021-04-25|language=en-US}}</ref> In this scheme, a separate term for 'brunch' would not be necessary, as {{lang|it|colazione}} could be used as a general term for any meal taken in the morning or early afternoon. Although Italian meal terminologies have generally shifted since widespread use of this naming scheme, the concept of a distinct mid-morning meal combining features of breakfast and lunch is largely one imported from the UK and North America in the last century, so the Anglicism 'brunch' is predominant.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Tibaldi|first=Andrea|title=Brunch|lang=it|url=https://www.cibo360.it/cucina/mondo/brunch.htm|access-date=2021-04-25|website=Cibo360.it}}</ref>
