There are a lot. The big ones which most people know of - French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian - and some of the others that I can think of off the top of my head are Catalan, Corsican, Bolognese, Leonese, Sicilian, Sardinian, Galician, Occitan, Venetian, Provencal.

(edit) And if you really want to add to the number, you could differentiate between Continental and Brazilian Portuguese, Castillian and Latin American Spanish, French and African French and Canadian French, all the Italian dialects, etc. But if not, I suppose Galician could be grouped with Portuguese and Occitan and Venetian could be grouped together.

"Then when he is going to say "estacionar" he says "stazionare". WRONG.
Parcheggiare is the right word. "

I still beliee an Italian would understand the word in a practical situation.

In most languages it is possible to make words at hand with stems and suffixes with a definite meaning. A derived word does not have to be listed in a dictionary to be valid.

And if anyone has an *unfaith in that, I will *evidencialise to its *trueyness by *enwritening something that would be *comprehensed by most *schoolified English speakers and many *uneducationised ones too.
