To all the people that think they know why. A lot of albanians born in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and till early 90s know how to speak italian, especially coming from midwest Albania, because that was the “forbidden” TV/Radio that they looked/listened during the communist era. It was the only contact that we had with the western world. I speak so fluent Italian that sometimes the Italians don’t believe that I’m albanian. Then, obviously, in the States there are no borders and they mix (the guy that says he is albanian, but his mom is italian). The Mafia correlation is not the reason. It is more of a result. My wife, both my parents, my sisters in law speak fluent italian.

When my grandparents moved to Chicago in the 1920s they didn't speak a word of English. But they forbade anyone to speak Italian to us. Because it was really looked down on, it put them very much in the lower class of American society at the time. They were strongly invested in having us be English-only American citizens for our own benefit. And that was a really painful thing for our family. We paid a price for that.

Maybe a few of them did have parents who never spoke English well like a cousin of mine who would be in his 90's if he were alive but he even married a non-Italian and I doubt if any of their kids learned, especially since he died when they were young and she remarried another non-Italian. I have to wonder how much of their Italian heritage those kids even knew, especially growing up in Princeton where we were not the most beloved people in the world.

Most Italian immigrants in New York City are elderly, and many of them, my parents included, do not speak Italian, they speak Italian regional languages and very few learned any English. So, we all speak our language. Little Italy ceased to be an Italian neighborhood decades ago, whereas Chinatown is an immigrant neighborhood and Chinese are the largest foreign born population in New York City. But, don't kid yourself, children or grandchildren of Chinese immigrants are not more likely to know Chinese than children or grandchildren of any other immigrants. Nothing special going on here.

@@BotanicalJourney Well I grew up in NJ right across the river and yes, most of them spoke the regional languages like Neapolitan and Sicilian predominantly but I would say 90% of my grandparents (born in the 1880's) generation learned English. Maybe not polished and gramatically perfect but they knew it. Most of the ones who are elderly, that would be me, got educations. College wasn't as common back then but there were paraprofessional jobs that required some post high school study to be able to do well. Women who went to Secretarial schools could write and speak better than a lot of college graduates do now. I disagree with you about the Asian kids. They learn. They may not like to speakthe language but they learn it because it is very beneficial for their future careers given the geo-political climate we're in.

Robert DeNiro is from Greenwich Village but interestingly his Italian surname is mostly a coincidence. He's bohemian Village, not Italian Village. His parents are prominent, college-educated painters, mom a WASP from Berkeley CA and dad an Irish-Italian from upstate. I think DeNiro Jr did later in his childhood try hanging out in Little Italy to kind of learn to be an Italian kid. That's actually pretty quintessentially New York. Since everything is here, you can kind of choose your crowd to some extent if you don't like what you were born into. It's not fully genuine, but the kids who try it make a better go at it than kids in the suburbs!

Many of the old Italians who speak Italian who used to live there in Little Italy saved up money and now live in nice neighborhoods in New jersey, Long Island and some parts of Brooklyn. I

Most Italians arrived in the USA in the late 1800 or early 1900. Most of them spoke a dialect. In the year 1900 only 10% of the Italians actually spoke italian.

Those so called 'dialects' are really different regional languages.

@@joselassalle4958 I know it well because I speak one of those dialects, montefeltrino romagnol. In Italy they call "dialect" a language whom speakers chose italian for literature and culture, even religion. My grand grands spoke the every day conversation in montefeltrino, but they pray in italian (come la gente)

I am Argentine of Italian origin. I find it incredible that almost no one speaks the language in Little Italy!!! In my city, Buenos Aires, we don't have an Italian neighborhood because almost the entire city is a kind of Italy. And an Italian doesn't need to know Spanish to come, I guarantee it!!!

The big wave of Italian immigration was 100+ years ago. They're mostly assimilated and thoroughly English speaking.

The top of the italian immigration in the USA was around 1890-1920. People with italian names like Joseph Mazzello, Bill De Blasio, Sylvester Stallone barely can Say One/Two italian words in a Row. In Italy they are not considered italian at all.

@@mml1426 True. I had a Mexican-American coworker who's grandma was born in Mexico and of course spoke Spanish. Her US born mother was bilingual and she herself couldn't speak Spanish at all. She said every time a Mexican would speak to her in Spanish and she'd say "Sorry, I only speak English" they'd look all suspicious at her like she was lying!😄

Story time: When I was 12yo, my family (from Italy) took me on a vacation to California. Amongst other places, we visited the Yosemite National Park. We lucked out because a week after we were there, half the park burned down... Anyway, one of the attractions of the place was this little museum housing Native artifacts, pottery, clothing, tools and such, and a few military uniforms and weapons from the days of the wild West... the place was basically one big room with a divider made of display cases at the center of it, which made an 0 circuit you would walk in relatively little time. At the other end of the room sat a native woman who was busy crafting something with beads or straw or something like that (it's been 30+ years, details are foggy)... anyway, she was dressed in traditional garb and working away at her craft, as something of a live installation. We walk past it and she clearly clocks us being tourists, so she asks where we're from. I didn't speak much English back then, so the conversation was run by my dad, who promptly says we're from Italy. Her reply? "Io 'e Palermo sono!" (I am from Palermo, Sicily, said with a very heavy old-Sicilian accent). It turns out that the woman wasn't First Nation at all, and was your average white US citizen, whose grandparents had come from Sicily, so she spoke a little Italian. So that's the story of the Indiana di Palermo, who has become a cherished family memory. Sidenote: pretty much in the same camping site was a pizza place that proudly claimed they'd been making pizza since 1947... I wish they'd learned how, to before we got there.
