Italians are an ethnic group and nation native to Italy who share a common culture, history, ancestry, and language, with roots tracing back to ancient Italic peoples including the Romans. The term matters because it distinguishes both ethnic Italians and their descendants worldwide from Italian nationals, who are simply citizens of the Italian state.

Ethnic Italians (a group which includes people of Italian descent without Italian citizenship) can be distinguished from Italian nationals, who are citizens of Italy regardless of ancestry or nation of residence.
The majority of Italian nationals are native speakers of the country's official language, Italian, a Romance language of the Indo-European language family that evolved from the Vulgar Latin. However, some of them also speak a regional or minority language native to Italy, the existence of which predates the national language. (According to UNESCO, there are approximately 30 languages native to Italy, although many are often incorrectly referred to as "Italian dialects".)
