Note
Only the countable meanings of Italian take this plural. Most often it counts people, whether inhabitants of Italy or those of Italian descent, but it can also count pieces of Italian cloth or, in Maine, Italian sandwiches. The language, the cuisine and the vermouth are uncountable, so they stay singular: you speak Italian and cook Italian, never Italians.
