The famed French dictionary Petit
Larousse has admitted two new words into the French vocabulary
having to do with Italian gastronomy.
The 2015 edition will include the words "bruschetta" and
"antipasti", referring to bite-sized Italian toasts and the
Italian word for appetizers.
Other foreign words to pass the hurdle into the French
vernacular are selfie, hashtag, hipsters, pilates and stiletto.
This year Petit Larousse will mark its 110th anniversary
with a special edition dictionary.
It will feature 62,500 words and a cover created by a
noteworthy designer.
