The majority of the South Tyrolean population is German-speaking and in some valleys it's the totality. The Italian-speaking population lives mainly in the Bolzano/Bozen urban area and other larger towns like Merano/Meran. Ladin-speaking people live in the Gardena and Badia Valleys. Keep in mind that all South Tyroleans are taught Italian and that almost all Ladins speak German. Italians tend to monolingual depending upon where they live. All the road signs have to be bi-lingual (tri-lingual where Ladin is spoken) and normally the first name identifies the majority language in the area.
