A massive percentage, if not majority, of Italian-Americans are Sicilians so it's a good place to do it! I just found out about the Sicilian language a few days ago from a Sicilian-American and I think it's really cool, almost like Catalan. Most fellow Italian-Americans I meet are Sicilians. My people came from Molise. Most Italian-Americans are southern Italians and a huge swath of them are Sicilians, but I have yet to meet anyone besides my extended family from our region haha. We aren't Sicilian but our ancestors shared a kingdom with them.

I’m the son of Sicilian immigrants and I speak Sicilian. Spoken Sicilian and Calabrian are almost identical especially the Sicilian that is spoken on the east coast of Sicily and Calabrese that is spoken on the west coast of Calabria. It’s only the narrow straight of Messina that separates the two and I’m sure that lots of travel by fishermen between the two areas has something to do with the similarities in our languages/dialects

It's wonderful to hear this language I grew up with from both parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles. As second generation American, Sicilian was the secret language my parents used at the dinner table when they didn't want us kids to know what they were saying. Looking back I wish they had taught me more. In those days my grandparents and parents were very proud to be American and American culture drove assimilation to English. I guess teaching us American kids Sicilian didn't seem practical at the time to them. So I compromised and learned some Italian since it was offered in high school.

Good job! He speaks Sicilian as in written form, rather refined and without contractions. Some popular dialects are a bit different, for example the dialect of Palermo, maybe the most spoken, and phonetically the most complicated. He should drop the "i" before n + consonant, and some "d" should be pronounced "r" but I liked him very much.

Part of it is that he's not a native speaker, and is speaking very slowly and clearly. As an Italian speaker I can understand him perfectly (when normally I don't really understand spoken Sicilian). That said, it's true that Sicilian has quite a bit of Iberian influence in terms of vocabulary.

Tim Snowsill Back when the Crowns of Castilla y Léon (Castille and Leon) and of Aragon united to form Spain, Aragon owned Sicily via its dominion over the Kingdom of Naples. For a good ~300 years Aragonese, and after that Dpanish, power and influence would reign supreme in the South of Italy. I think this influence also was made visible in the language of the area.

I agree with all the comments here that he's quite easy to understand. I think that's for a few reasons. One is that he's speaking quite slowly and with very clear diction, which is not usually the way people speak in any "dialetto" (yes I know they're really languages) anywhere in Italy. Normally they're used in very informal contexts, so people speak fast and expressively, rarely in such a careful and clear way as this. Also, it sounds like he's reading a prepared text, so there are no spontaneous random surprises. It's true his accent sounds pretty accurate, especially for a 3rd generation Italian-American. But actually, being born outside Italy can sometimes be (paradoxically) an advantage for this. If you never grew up with standard Italian as your native language, but you heard your parents and grandparents speaking in their native regional language, then you pick up the sounds of that language with no interference from the pronunciation of modern standard Italian. Compare that to young Italians today in regions where the local "dialetto" has really gone out of use, for example in Turin. My cousins there only know a few words, expressions and sayings in piemontese. But they pronounce them with a very strong Italian accent, very different to how their grandparents spoke. In that region, older generations avoided speaking "dialetto" around the children because they considered it low class and didn't want to "corrupt" their Italian. As a result, they never really learned the sound of the language properly at all...

By the way, that wasn't a criticism at all that it seemed like you were reading (or had memorised) the speech. Just an observation, due to the lack of filler words or random digressions that would normally come up otherwise. I'm very impressed, I know in my case even though I grew up with standard Italian I can't really speak the different dialects of my parents even though I can understand them pretty well.

After slavery was abolished, plantation owners from Mississippi Delta states lobbied the Italian government to convince Southern Italian migrants to move to the US to work the plantations on the cheap - sort of like indentured servitude, but it depended on the plantation. Many Sicilians went back, but a lot stayed. There were so many in New Orleans that the French Quarter became known as "Little Palermo" and in fact most properties in the Quarter are still owned by Sicilian American families. First mention of "the mafia" came from a New Orleans newspaper, and some of the largest mass lynchings in US history happened to Sicilians in Louisiana. The muffuletta sandwich is a Sicilian invention in New Orleans, based on traditional Sicilian muffuletta bread.

Nick is 100%, in fact my great grandfather and some other relatives were called to work the sugarcane fields of South Louisiana a around 1895. After a short while they heard about strawberry farming and moved into the Tangipahoa Parish Area. By 1909, 75% of the population of Independence was Sicilian and they owned about 80% of the land. This all happened in a matter of about 20 years. The Sicilians completely replaced the farming practices of the locals and just about ran the out of the area. 1915 was a high point and during that year in that little town of 1000 people the Sicilians shipped 405 rail cars of strawberries all over the U.S. and including Canada. A book was written about this area and the first Sicilians to arrive. It's quite an amazing story!

@@fanuzzucampo3102 I'm sorry. I just saw your reply now. I want to learn to speak Sicilian. My family is from Sicily as a child I grew up. In the household with this language, I can speak a little bit but not very much. And another problem is they mix the Sicilian with the Italian. I really want to be authentic with it. Would you be willing to share some links where I can do exactly what you did? I understood pretty much what you said in the video, but there's some things I don't understand Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

@@jonminnella4157 This is my Sicilian facebook group. There are 1000's of native Sicilians who love helping other learn Sicilian. There are also Professors from the Universities in Sicilia in the group. So you can ask anything and surely some will be willing to help. And there is daily posts and dialogue in Sicilian.

Ciao tutti di più specialmente Stefano. Io penso che tu parlate la lingua Siciliano nei un molto in modo poetica in cui le parole fluide tramontà gli frase della conversazione e narrazione per durante tutto intervista. Da America ma tu insegna come a detto cose a persone usando verbi descrizione e è bene scriviti. Così in Sicilia loro gioco suonare la tarantela canzoni folclori con una friscaletta e lo modo suonare l'instrumenta è tante suonando piacevoli. Complimenti su padroneggiare la lingua di tua madre. Cin cin. Ti abbia di cura te stesso. Hai un goderemmo volta nei Sicilia. Mi sono provo a insegno io stesso ma scopra esso difficile purtroppo.

LMatt 88 No. I’d say it’s more like Vulgar Latin left unaffected by the Renaissance. Kind of. Of course, the characterization is a bit on the oversimple side, but that’s how Sicilian strikes me as someone who knows Italian and Classical Latin.
