In what language did Dante write The Divine Comedy?

It is
difficult to imagine a work of literature
of more importance to a national culture than Dante's
The Divine
Comedy. Not only did he write it in the Tuscan or Florentine

Italian, this long poem helped make that , or version of Italian, the standard one for
Italy.
However, the poem also pulled in words from other Italian dialects and
other
languages. 

In the early 1300s when Dante wrote his
masterwork, Latin was the
international language widely used by educated
people of Europe for their written texts. It was,
therefore, unusual for
Dante to write a major literary work in the vernacular, the native
language
of one's country, but Dante did so, along, it might be noted, with fellow
medieval
writers Petrarch and Boccaccio. 

It's worth
noting that 600 years later,
Italian Primo Levi devotes a whole chapter of
his book Survival in
Auschwitz to regaining his sense of
humanity for a short time while in the
concentration camp simply by having
the opportunity to recite afrom to a
fellow
inmate.
