[@stephengardin2423]

It comes down to the discipline of the person and the degree of his/her assimilation into the newer culture. I have two Italian parents that are very disciplined in the way they speak and their English pronunciation is perfect with a slight inflection of the mother tongue. Now, at the same time, I have aunts and uncles(father's brothers) that to this day still sound like they have never been out of Italy. We're talking the same hometown, after 45+ years.

Italy is not a single country. There are 2 countries inside one. North is similar to Austria or France, and South is similar to Albania or Greece. You won't believe that there's huge racism between Northern and Southern Italians. Back in the time Northern Italians didn't want Southerners to come up in the North. They wrote at the doors "We don't rent to southerners" (sometimes still happens) because they came (and come) in a massive number up in the North. There are even racist slurs towards North and South "Terroni"(against south) and "Polentoni"(against north). Back in time was a really strong party in northern Italy that wanted to split the country and called the North "Padania". Those secessionists still exists both in North and South. Italy is not united country.

Ciao Matteo, in realtà io ho vissuto in Inghilterra da ragazzino, ho fatto alcuni anni di liceo là, e quando vivevo in Inghilterra mi prendevano sempre per madre lingua, le uniche volte che capivano che ero straniero era perché magari sbagliavo a dire qualcosa, da un punto di vista grammaticale. Tornando in Italia ho effettivamente perso un po' l'intonazione che in alcune frasi è ritornata italiana, di solito una cosa che scompare quando torno in Inghilerra per qualche settimana, perché mi sintonizzo di nuovo con loro. Quindi per risponderti direi che è vero che l'accento non è più quello di una volta e che si sente che non sono inglese (a volte), però la mia pronuncia dei singoli lemmi è perfetta, non sbaglio mai le vocali (ad esempio dico "in front, money, come, dove, honey, London" tutti con la pronuncia "A" o "ʌ" in IPA, mentre gli italiani di solito dicono front London e honey con la "o" che a Londra non esiste. Anche le fricative interdentali sonore e sorde le faccio da madre lingua, e ho tutte le vocali nasalizzate. In altre parole, sarei d'accordo con te se non avessi scritto la parola "di brutto", perché su questo posso dirti che tutti i miei conoscenti e colleghi di Londra e Cambridge dicono diversamente, la maggior parte degli inglesi, ora come ora, mi dice che ho un lieve accento straniero e ogni tanto sbaglio qualche particella, ma se torno in Inghilterra anche quello sparisce. Grazie dell'ascolto!

[@matteoraineri8136]

+Metatron Sisi, mi sono espresso male effettivamente. La pronuncia è quasi perfetta, forse è piú la cadenza, ma sinceramente non saprei nemmeno come spiegarti bene :) In qualunque caso video davvero interessante (Y)

[@metatronyt]

Ti ringrazio e mi fa piacere che tu abbia trovato il mio video interessante, e spero di rivederti presto nei commenti ^^

[@laurignano]

As an Italian-Canadian, I find this very interesting. Although I was born in Canada, I have been blessed to be exposed to many different Southern Italian Dialects all of my life (including Sicilian). My father is Calabrese (from a town near the city of Cosenza, which dialect is closer to Napoli’s dialect) and my mother is Sardinian (which I would argue is its own language completely). I can honestly say I have had such limited experience speaking with anyone with a Northern accent that I would have never known the major differences without this video. In Canadian cities such as Toronto and Montreal (which had large Italian immigration), we have grown accustomed to hearing Southern Italian dialects. When I first visited Italy as a kid, all I knew was Italese (Italian and English mixed) and Calabrese (Cosentino). Unfortunately for me, I landed in the Milan first and no one could understand a word I was saying. It wasn’t until I hit Naples and eventually my father's home town that I was able to have a full out conversation with someone…which was one of the strangest experiences of my life. Luckily, through listening to music and studying Italian in School, I have now got a pretty good grasp on the Italian language. I think you would be very interested in seeing how the Italian population in Canada has not changed culturally since the 60s / 70s. Although many people who live in Canada do not know this, but the Italian culture they know today in North American is actually a Southern Italian culture and not Northern Italian culture. Most interestingly, I would say that the Italian culture in Canada (and in the United States and Australia) is a time warp. But as our grandparents and parents get older, these traditions may fade and things will change. I’m just glad I have had the opportunity to experience such a thing. Thanks for the amazing video. You now have a new subscriber!

[@bimmerboy87]

the differences in accents are interesting, particularly for the pronunciation of "s". The southern italians pronounce "s" like the spaniards, while the northern italians pronounce "s" like the french. i wonder if thats because the northern italians are closer to france, and the southern italy was part of the spanish empire, and thus had spanish influences.

[@earthakitt3661]

Habsburg influence too (Arabic also)

[@ntnntl96]

These differences are present because north italian dialects belong to the branch of gallo-italic languages, while standard italian and south italian dialects belong to the branch of italo-dalmatian languages. This is the line that divides these two linguistic groups: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/La_spezia-rimini_line.png/800px-La_spezia-rimini_line.png

[@acanpc333]

[@irondragon3430]

Except when you have to learn it...

[@FlexibleFlyer50]

My dad was born in Sicily in a small town not far from Agrigento. He came to the US when he was a year old. His parents both spoke dialect, and it was a very old dialect that few people on the mainland could even understand. The Arabic language influence was strong, and I'll cite two examples: "letto" is bed in Italian; however, my grandparents and my father called bed "beddu." "Cavafiore" is Italian for cauliflower, but in their dialect it was "mouzatura." My grandparents had 15 children, with 9 surviving until adulthood. My father was the only one who ever wanted to visit Sicily and see the relatives. Even his younger second and third cousins had a difficult time understanding him. After my parents made their third trip to Sicily, my father was so upset that no one could understand him that he enrolled in a college Italian class. At 74 years old he loved the class and the other students. Once a month they would go to a local Italian restaurant and get to use their language skills. My father continued to take Italian courses until he was 80. He always said those days in the classroom twice a week were marvelous. Of course, my mother had to nag him to do his homework, but we were proud of him for sticking with the classes. When my parents returned to Sicily for their final visit my father astounded the family with his proficiency in the Tuscan dialect. Happy times. Good memories.

[@johannak1983]

I'm Greek and I found this video very interesting! I think that Southern Italian accent (concerning the "s") is somehow closer to Greek. Maybe has to do with Greek influence there? I'm just guessing...

[@annax.6304]

joanna_k I agree with you

[@richardcranium2683]

As a huge history nerd, yes, it has to do with the predominantly Greek speaking Eastern Roman Empire temporarily reconquering much of Italia, with their main region of control being the South. As a result, the dialect of Italian has been heavily influenced by Koine Greek.

[@marcospada6603]

true, but not just that, the southern accents come from a lot of different influences, depending on how many different people have conquered their land. after the romans, there have been goths, greeks, arabs, normans (originally french speaking), than last came the spaniards. so there are words and sounds coming from so many different offsprings. same in the north but with less, in the last 5 centuries, mainly the north-west part was subject to french occupation (Piedmont) or french/spanish (Lombardy), while in the north-east part the main influence was due to the austrian (Hapsburg) domination of Venice and Veneto (if you hear an austrian speaking german you can notice a similarity to the venetian tone). I guess that being at the center of the mediterranean and surrounded by all other european powers has made Italy a crossroad for marching armies all over the centuries :)

[@johannak1983]

Marco Spada Unfortunately I don't speak Italian, so I can only judge by this video's info. I wish I had payed more attention to the local accents, when I visited Italy some years ago. I speak German and I'm actually familiar with the Austrian accent, so I could easily spot that influence in the northern parts. Thanks for you comment anyway! :)

[@DaviRenania]

I think it's more of a Spanish influence, maybe.

[@marcomajonchi9741]

Quando hai dato la spiegazione che in Toscana si differenzia la "S" tra parola e parola ti ho stimato troppo.

Riguardo i commenti che ho letto sul suo accento, posso assicurare - dall'alto dei miei 54 anni vissuti da poliglotta all'interno di una famiglia poliglotta ove l'inglese è predominante - che il suo accento è più che eccellente, e difficilmente un inglese potrebbe dedurre che non sia di madrelingua, figuriamoci poi un italiano! Ciò che alcuni hanno percepito (da non madrelingua) come "accento italiano" è invece solo "musicalità". Ed effettivamente la sua musicalità tradisce molto la sua italianità (bravo chi l'ha notato anche se l'ha scambiato per accento). Quella è davvero dura da estirpare ma, se non si vive l'apprendimento di una lingua come un'ossessione, ha davvero, ma davvero poca rilevanza. Si tenga presente che io esprimo un commento su KZbin una o due volte l'anno, quando davvero si rende necessario.

Davide Gobbicchi ma vivi ancora negli anni 50? Dov'è che la gente ti guarda meno amichevolmente se hai un accento meridionale? In ogni caso, è praticamente impossibile che uno straniero acquisisca un accento così autentico da poter essere confuso per un italiano (meridionale o settentrionale che sia). Dovesse anche scegliere di adottare un accento settentrionale ( che non è assolutamente più simile all'italiano standard di quello meridionale, ma gode di più prestigio per ragioni esclusivamente economico/sociali), la sua lingua madre avrebbe comunque un'influenza tale da rendere impossibile identificare il tipo di italiano. Per intenderci, fosse americano il tizio suonerebbe americano ed americano e basta, così se fosse francese o di qualunque altra nazionalità.

I don't know if that was pointed out yet, but seems like that we italians give a different meaning to the word "dialect". For english speakers "dialect" basically means "accent"; but for italians, "dialect" literally is a non-written local language, while "accent" stands for a different pronuntiation. I live in Apulia, so in the south. But I can't understand at all Naples' dialect which is also southern, for it truly is another different language, even if it shares common words with the ordinary italian (and other southern dialects), pretty much like spanish shares some similar words with italian. RECAP Accent = different word's pronuntiation between north and south, often even between near cities as Metatron well stated. Dialect = a whole, different local language, mostly non-written (not officially at least) and only spoken. Maybe Metatron could explain better, he's the linguist here :D

[@Fxyz4ever]

Actually "dialect" in English is not only a matter of accent, but also of word choice (vocabulary) and some slight grammatical differences. I think the closest concept we have in Italian is "italiano regionale"

Italy has different LANGUAGES They falsly might call dialects), Engalnd has only different accents. Sicilian and Veneto are more different then Portguese and Spanish.

[@bob1988y]

My guesses were right. But it's not because I was learning with attention your lesson (which is very goog in my opinion). But because I've look on it throught prismat of typical steorotypes. And this is how I made mu guesses: 1. N. he is dressed like typical snobb. 2.S they are making interviev in evening. because is too hot to be outside during day time. 3. S because he is talking slowly but gesticulate with hands a lot. 4. N. he dress like a snobb and look like snobb. 5.. N. talking fast and without emotions. 6. S the same reason like nr 2. 7. S. talking slowly, gesticulate is fat and talking about mangiare. Cause on south is so hot that they seat mostly inside doing nothing and just mangiare. If they not mangiare, then talk about mangiare. :-) I've never been in Italy, I know it's beautiful country. I didin't want to offend anyone. Just joke. Hope to be there some day and mangiare. BTW. the reporter at 2 and 6 is realy cute. Hello from Pland.

This is a very good video, very interesting and useful contrary to other videos about Italians made by other Italians! Let me just point out a little thing: the dialects aren't dialects of Italian language but dialects of Latin. Per il resto, sei molto bravo e complimenti per il tuo accento in inglese, stai dimostrando agli anglofoni che gli italiani sono in grado di pronunciare benissimo la loro lingua e senza aggiungere nessuna vocale alla fine di ogni parola come credono erroneamente. Ciao da un'italiana del settentrione :)

Oddio sono confusa :D io non sono né del nord, né del sud, sono nata e cresciuta in Sardegna e gran parte della mia pronuncia rispecchia quella del nord (le s sonore, niente doppie a caso ecc), ma ho anche le geminate toscane quando l'inizio di parola è preceduto da vocale, probabilmente perché ho vissuto in Toscana e in tanti mi dicono che ho quell'accento lì.

[@gippi86]

Veramente i toscani che conosco spiattellano sempre la s sorda e se glie lo fai notare giurano di non capire/sentire la differenza tra "Ca-s-a" e "Ca-z-a". L'unico errore che ammettono è la trasformazione della c in sc: "scena" invece che "cena". Ma da piemontese devo solo stare zitto perché noi facciamo un cazino incredibile con le vocali aperte/chiuse... tendiamo a spalancare tutto: "Torino" la pronunciamo quasi "Tahrino"

[@weirdeyedgirl]

gippi86 in Toscana dipende tutto dall'area di provenienza e dall'età dei parlanti, per esempio quello che dici tu può verificarsi nell'area di Pisa o piuttosto con parlanti di una certa età. Ora come ora l'influenza del nord Italia è parecchia e mi rendo conto che la maggioranza dei giovani, almeno per quanto riguarda Firenze, utilizzi quasi sempre l'opzione della s sonora /z/

[@weirdeyedgirl]

gippi86 e in ogni caso l'uso della /s/ sorda per parole come 'casa' sarebbe l'opzione "corretta" in italiano standard che infatti ha origine dal toscano. Sebbene non si dovrebbe parlare di corretto o sbagliato ma piuttosto di diverse variazioni linguistiche c'è da dire che se vuoi prendere in considerazione l'italiano standard la variazione Toscana è quella in assoluto più corretta.

[@gippi86]

No No NO e NO. Il fiorentino fu scelto come lingua nazionale per motivi pratici e politici, perché esisteva già un'abbondante lettaratura e perché era la lingua degli accademici in italia. Ma non coincide col toscano davvero parlato "volgarmente", che (mi spiace dirlo) è molto distorto e ha una fonetica molto impoverita. L'unico italiano standard e corretto è quello parlato dal presidente della repubblica al discorso di capodanno. E non lo parla nessuno nelle strade, TANTOMENO in toscana.

[@metatronyt]

Il Toscano è stato scelto per l'importanza letteraria del dolce stil novo, ma io comunque lo trovo la migliore opzione perché tutto il sistema di vocali aperte, vocali chiuse, e consonanti aspre e sonore è perfettamente in sintonia con le origini latine della lingua italiana. Pranzo vuole la z sonora perché deriva da pranDIum mentre lazio vuole la z sorda perché deriva da Latium. Sono solo due esempi, ma solo il toscano le ha tutte perfette queste. La dizione è figlia del toscano, non è il toscano, ma né è figlia.

[@gippi86]

Metatron certo! ma le parlate toscane moderne non hanno più tutti quegli elementi! trovo ridicola la pretesa che se è toscano allora è più corretto. Nel toscano accademico che dici tu è agghiacciante pronunciare "scena" anzi che "cena"

[@lmusima3275]

As a student of the Italian language for a long time, I always liked the northern accent namely Tuscany. It’s so clear and comprehensive. From the region of Lazio and Campania I struggle a bit. One day in Naples I spoke with an elderly man and I struggled to understand much of what he said. Maybe about 40 %

Oh my god, I got them all right! I'm a linguistic genius!! I'm king of the... What? It's a useless skill? No practical applications whatsoever? Well, shit.

[@metatronyt]

If you were to study Italian it would have applications. But even if you didn't study Italian specifically, you can still use these excercises to improve your ability to distinguish small differences in sounds, which would improve any language you are studying. Ofcourse if you are not interested at all in language training...

[@88fibonaccisequence]

To clarify, I didn't mean it as a criticism. I really enjoyed the video. I just have a habit of acquiring skills and knowledge that are... let's say esoteric.

Interessantissimo. È molto strano sentire pronunciare certe parole ("a Roma ") come due parole secondo il modo nordico, ma la parte “Roma“ con accento del sud!

[@jrthiker9908]

Thanks for talking about the raddoppiamento sintattico and the voiced and unvoiced intervocalic S between north and south. I work in opera and we Americans are taught Tuscan, specifically Senese, Italian as being the standard for classical singing diction (except for the Siena "c" of course!) We obsess about the open and closed E's and O's (or are taught beware the ire of the opera gods if you screw up your E's and O's LOL.) And we argue whether finale unstressed E's are open or closed (finaleh or finalay) All my Italian singer friends are much more laissez-faire about things. I now live half the year in Abruzzo (TE) and find the centro accents and dialects a nice combo of the north/south qualities. It is much more relaxed, fast, with fewer doubles and mostly open vowels in Abruzzo. And much more formal and structured with greetings....Salve way before you get a buon giorno, and definitely buona sera after 2 pm. But I love the regional/provincial differences in language and food/culture in Italy, it's what makes the country amazing!

[@sexymanicou3403]

Hello, which of these pronunciation is correct ?. Pèrugini (PÈ-ru-gi-ni) [1st syllable held the longest] or Pèrugini (pè-ru-GI-ni) [2nd to last syllable held the longest]

[@normanoro206]

Thank you for posting this. I know some Italian and plan to study it a bit more in 2018; and it helps to have a consistent pronunciation. Both northern and southern pronunciations sound really cool, but the northern pronunciation seems like it'd be easier to learn for non-native speakers (like me).

[@ntnntl96]

There is also a standard pronunciation based on the way florentin people pronounce vowels, double consonants and the letter s and z. For example the word "casa" (house) In Milan people say "kaza" In florence people say "hasa" In Bari people say "kæsɑ" So the standard is "kasa" The word "caso" (case) In Milan they say "kazo" In florence they say "hazo" In Bari they say "kæsɔ" So the standard is "kazo".

[@Habibus12]

Grazie per questo video, lo trovo veramentre interessante. La cosa che mi incuriosisce di piu' e' questa: quando spariranno tutte queste differenze ? Nel mio Paese (la Polonia) nel 90 % dei casi non si riesce a dire da quale regione viene la persona con la quale parli, la pronuncia e' ugale quasi dappertutto e esistono poche differenze lessicali. Questa cosa succedera' anche in Italia, e' solo la questione di tempo. Se qualcuno mi chiedesse qual e' la versione dell'italiano che preferisco rispondo senza esitazione: quella del Nord :-)

[@NoShadowsHere]

Da italiana, spero invece che non succeda. La differenza di pronuncia di regione in regione è indice di una tradizione letteraria (e non solo) unica a ciascun territorio che a me, personalmente, piace. Vale lo stesso per i dialetti. E' affascinantissimo andare a Trieste e ascoltare il triestino, andare a Bologna e ascoltare il bolognese, etc. Ci sono dialetti che sono vere e proprie lingue. :) L'Italia è bella perché è varia.

[@elisaamato1624]

No Shadows Here Invece spero che succeda. ODIO andare in un posto e sentirmi quasi 'straniera' dal modo in cui parlo. Quasi imbarazzante! Vorrei che tutti parlassimo allo stesso modo,così sarebbe più facile anche per gli stranieri,no? Magari sono io una pippata mentale..😂

[@NoShadowsHere]

Il problema non è il tuo, di sicuro non sei una pippata mentale... xD Ci sarà stato qualcuno che ti ha dato l'impressione di non essere la benvenuta con il tuo modo di parlare...? Ti dirò: io sono lucana, ho amici in mezza Italia, tra nord e sud, per non parlare del fatto che vivo in casa con una messinese e una bergamasca. :) E nessuna delle persone che conosco ti farebbe sentire una straniera; è ovvio che ci si prende in giro ogni tanto per le cadenze e magari quelle parole che sono uniche al proprio dialetto, ma è anche un modo per abbracciare le proprie diversità (e imparare qualcosa!). Poi è anche ovvio che se si esce dalla propria regione non si può entrare in un bar e iniziare a parlare il proprio dialetto, per dirne una; conoscere ed essere affezionati al proprio dialetto non significa che bisogna smettere di saper parlare l'italiano. Non sentirti imbarazzata per il modo in cui parli. E per quanto riguarda gli stranieri... beh, non penso ci siano persone che vanno a fare conversazione con gli stranieri in dialetto. E' la cadenza che cambia, ma è la stessa difficoltà che avrebbe, per dire, un italiano che va a parlare inglese in Inghilterra e poi in Scozia.

[@mermaidvonstarfish]

Italy is not even a country if we want to be completely honest. It's like the entire american continent on a smaller scale, at least three-four major different cultural/ethnic/linguistic major groups and dozens of sub-groups, the "federal" language is what binds it all together and that's it, not even climate or food (not completely) does as part of it it's mediterranean, some other areas are continental or apline, some are insular. There's more than just accents. - Bella pronuncia british comunque -

[@BFDT-4]

Number 1, I love Italian, but I will never have the chance to study it much. No more time left. 2, I LEARNED a chunk of stuff here. I am a Native English Speaker, and I also speak both Spanish (more) and German (less). That you teach from the point of view of pronunciation is in my opinion, CORRECT. Pronunciation first before grammar gives a learner two important insights: How to pronounce the language, making the right sounds for the target language. And second, to have the aural expectations of the sounds that one WILL hear, instead of what we THINK we will hear (based on L1 and textual cues). Two things that will help a student quickly master the language better than years studying a grammar book and vocabulary lists. If you teach Italian in the UK, then you will do well. Even if you don't, you did well, my friend! --Chicago native, where Italian is one of the major sources of the Chicago accent! :)

[@marcellopinti3802]

Mmmh not sure about that. Argentinian accent has been heavily influenced by massive immigration from Friuli, Veneto (North East of Italy) and Piedmont (North West). Check family names: the ones that end in -i or in -on are usually from Northern or Centre Italy (Zanetti, Veròn, Icardi, Sabatini, Peròn, Ginobili, Messi), the ones ending in -o are from Southern Italy . And yes, Bergoglio is an exception, ends in -o but is from Piedmont.
