=== Influence and derived languages === {{See also|Italian diaspora}} [[File:Talian.svg|right|thumb|Municipalities where [[Talian dialect|Talian]] is co-official in [[Rio Grande do Sul]], Brazil]] [[File:Placard piemontèis a San Fransesch an Argentin-a.jpg|thumb|Trilingual sign in [[San Francisco, Argentina]], in Spanish, Italian, and [[Piedmontese language|Piedmontese]]]] From the late 19th to the mid-20th century, millions of Italians settled in Argentina, Uruguay, southern Brazil, and Venezuela, and in Canada and the United States, where they formed a physical and cultural presence. In some cases, colonies were established where variants of regional [[languages of Italy]] were used, and some continue to use this regional language. Examples are [[Rio Grande do Sul]], Brazil, where [[Talian dialect|Talian]] is used, and the town of [[Chipilo]] near Puebla, Mexico; each continues to use a derived form of [[Venetian language|Venetian]] dating back to the 19th century. Other examples are [[Cocoliche]], an Italian–Spanish [[pidgin]] once spoken in [[Argentina]] and especially in [[Buenos Aires]], and [[Lunfardo]]. The [[Rioplatense Spanish]] dialect of Argentina and Uruguay today has thus been heavily influenced by both standard Italian and Italian regional languages as a result.
