Abruzzese Dialect | Can Catalan, French, Spanish, and Latin speakers understand it? | #1

This video features the Neapolitan Dialect spoken in Abruzzo, Italy. Claudio de Domenico is an Abruzzese speaker and we made this video to see if Catalan, French, Spanish, and Latin speakers can understand the Abruzzese dialect?
Abruzzese is one of many languages of Italy. So far we've featured Trentino and Sardinian languages. Eventually, we'd like to feature all the dialects of Italy. If you'd like to represent your dialect on the show please contact me. :) I'm Norbert - the guy who appears at the end of the video.

Luc is a rockstar in latin 😎...Norbert must be a special chapter with all romance language with him.

[@judna1]

That would be cool, but a bit tough as well, there's so many romance languages: Italian dialects for instance, are sooo different and sometimes unintelligible from one another that they're considered languages. And, if we are including dialects, Catalan Dialects are quite diverse from one another (though intelligible between each other), there's the Balear, the Central Catalan (the one I speak, though mine has some influences from Oriental Catalan), Valencian (though some people consider this a language), there's even a Catalan dialect spoken in Sardinia which is the "algerès" spoken in the town Alghero ("Alguer" in Catalan). Plus, there's other romance languages that hasn't been featured yet in this channel, like Occitan, which also has quite different dialects. It is spoken in Catalonia, France, Italy... The one spoken in Catalonia is the "Aranès". And of course there's other languages like Romanian, French, Galician, Portuguese (which is spoken in some African countries as well and it gets mixt with creole, just like French)... So, it you can find the way to feature ALL of them in one video, I'm in, but, I think is quite complicated, don't you think?

Nel video ovviamente c'è quello che si parla in una parte d'Abbruzzo, dovrebbe essere pescarese visto che in teramano suoni e parole sono diverse come lo è per l'aquilano. La parte sud delle marche parla abruzzese perché qualche decennio fa era Abruzzo, ecco perché dicono anche loro frichine che è teramano, solitamente si cambia la P con la B e la T con la D rispetto all'italiano e altre differenze ovviamente con le vocali.

I'm so impressed with Luke speaking Latin! I'm a native Italian speaker and I can understand every language in this video. The easiest language for me to understand here is the abruzzese dialect, since I'm from the south of Italy and I can understand Central Italian dialects. I did study French and Latin. Catalan is quite easy for me to understand, as well as Spanish, even though I never studied those two languages.

Abruzzese has turned out to be the most difficult Italian language for me to understand as a Spanish speaker. This one really got me. There’s no way I could understand it in rapid speech. I would have to study it if I don’t wanna have to keep asking people to slow down.

Hello Marco. I need help translating and spelling a phrase. I had a Great Uncle Danny, who was born in 1918. His parents came from Castiglione Messer Raimondo, a small town in Abruzzo. They came over in 1908. He learned their dialect. I have him on film a few years ago saying a quick phrase in that dialect. I cant find the original clip, but I practiced saying it through the years. He passed away years ago amd I never got to ask him about it. Could I email you a clip of me saying it to see if it sounds like something you know? It's been a mystery I've been trying solve for a long time now Thank you!

Whereas, the "with-father" in English sounds absurd by comparison. 😂😂😂 I do wonder if "Godfather" is used in Catholic Churches in English-speaking countries though? Or if they just use Latin "Dominus"? And by comparison "deus+pater"(?) sounds weird for a literal Latin translation, hence why I quite Luke's suggestion of "dominus".

Loved this video, looking forward to part 2! As a native Italian speaker from the north, I couldn't understand a few specific words but I'd say I understood a good 90% of Abruzzese without reading the subtitles. I think the Neapolitan dialects are relatively easy to understand because they're closer to standard Italian and we're used to hearing Neapolitan thanks to TV and music. Please do Sicilian or Pugliese someday :) I feel like those two are the hardest to understand for me.

Keep up the good work 👍 P.S. Other suggestions could be: comparing uralic languages (finnish, estonian and hungarian), comparing north germanic languages (swedish, norwegian, danish and icelandic).

@@claudiodidomenico no no assolutamente haha l'intonazione è perfetta è divertente per me guardare un video in cui degli stranieri tentano di capire seriamente un dialetto simile al mio, poi tra le altre cose mi ha fatto ridere perché è simile all'accento della zona di Trivento che è stato sempre divertente per me ☺️

[@traurigesland4622]

ciao claudio, video bellissimo, ti ricopio un commento ed una riflessione che mi hai fatto fare sentendoti parlare abruzzese... !Non sono un accademico, ma adoro la linguistica e le lingue. Sono italiano, romano. Allora piccola riflessione: sentendo Claudio parlare all'inizio, in maniera involontaria mi è cominiciato a venir da ridere. E questo perchè? Perche in Italia ormai il dialetto, specialmente quelli centro-meridionali, hanno accezione ed uso quasi semrpe umoristico e per motivi storici che non vi sto qua a dire ma che ogni italiano sa non hanno raggiunto la dignità letteraria dell'italiano standard dantesco, manzoniano, ecc.ecc. Ma poi più continuava a parlare Claudio e più mi dicevo, conoscendo peraltro abbastanza bene non l'abruzzese, ma il molisano: Ma che cazzo mi rido? Alla fine quella pronuncia, quella dizione, che sembra così bislacca, se parlata e pensata come una forma linguistica con uno suo valore culturale ed una sua dignità che appartiene ad un popolo che l'ha parlata per secoli non fa ridere, per niente, non fa ridere tanto quanto non fa ridere l'italiano. È solo un caso che tutta l'italia non parli l'abruzzese e non usiamo la scwha alla fine delle parole come è tipico in abruzzo e tutto il resto della pronuncia così ben dimostrata da Claudio. Fa strano a me che sono italiano nel 2021, ad un Napoletano del 600 non faceva strano per nulla. Insomma, non so se riesco a spiegare la profonda mutazione di senso che ha creato in me questa realizzazione, ma è estremamente profonda. Ogni lingua ha dignità a se, non nasce umoristica o non fa ridere o pecca di sua natura, ma solo per le contingenze del caso, storico-sociali, che le sono toccate in gloria, per gli uomini che l'han parlata nella Storia. Sento l'abruzzese e penso, ma sì, è un volgare, latino, come tanti altri italici, lo capisco, è bello, mi sono abituato in 5 minuti di video. Potrebbe essere benissimo una lingua nazionale. Mentre invece è relegato magari alle barzellette in dialetto... E questo crea grandi danni culturali."
