Is Vatican City an EU member?

[edit]

The Monaco article specifically mention Monaco is not an EU member. Perhaps this info should be included here as well? 68.123.14.250 (talk) 01:57, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Might be worth more explicitly noting the areas of cooperation. Currently the article does say it has a special Euro agreement with the EU, and that it is not a member of the UN. (Taking the Holy See as the government of the Vatican.) CMD (talk) 02:40, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Latin language

[edit]

Why isn't Latin language added as official and national language. It is pretty well known that Catholic church used and still uses Latin in liturgy and amongst pontificate. Papal States also had Latin language as official language 86.124.126.204 (talk) 00:07, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Being the liturgical language of the Catholic Church does not make it the official language of the Vatican, nor can it be a national language as the Vatican is not a nation or nation-state. The Fundamental Law of Vatican City State, the closest thing they have to a constitution, does not list any official languages. Being a city-state inside of Italy however, the de facto language in day to day affairs remain Italian. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 01:27, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What language is used for official publications and pronouncements? Roger 8 Roger (talk) 02:52, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Mainly Italian, the new version of the Fundamental Law enacted in 2023 currently only exists in Italian. Most people who work in the Vatican are Italian citizens, so it is kind of a given. That being said, media publications tend to be in several major languages. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 03:05, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
