    It's a pity very few italian accents are heard outside Italy, so that, for example, in movies any italian usually has Sicilian accent. You can hear dozens of different accents in Italy. In Puglia there are zones where the accent sounds like arab. And in Trentino they sound like they were speaking german. But there are really counless accents because Italy was just a bunch of nations until less than a couple of centuries ago

    I am a native speaker of English who speaks fluent standard Italian. I was once traveling to Italy sitting next to a native born Australian. Because of his thick Australian accent, I was having difficulty understanding him. Gratefully, he too spoke Italian, so without letting him know the real reason, I suggested we switched to Italian, since I needed the “practice.” It worked perfectly.! 😂

      @@icefalls The subject of the video dealt with the various accents in which the Italian language is spoken in Italy, particularly in Northern Italy, and Southern Italy. The purpose of my remarks was to show that English is also spoken with various accents, and sometimes it’s difficult to understand. I related my story in order to show how in one particular instance, I solved the problem by speaking standard Italian. This was the language in which both of us were able to communicate. There were no concerns about different accents since we both spoke standard Italian with the Toscana inflection and pronunciation. I am sorry you were unable to understand my comments which may have required upper level thinking skills, which apparently you do not have.

    She nailed it hehe. The north is a very posh accent, the center is very heavy and strongly pronounced and the south is more melodic. I also feel like the further north you go words get longer. The further south words get shorter and then Sicilian is a whole other language. There are so many different linguistic influences.

    Italian pronunciation in the United States has a strong southern influence, and there is a reason. From about 1875 to 1925, Italians were the largest migration group into the USA and the majority of the migrants were from Sicily and Southern Italy. There were Central and Northern Italians also but they tended to settle more in specific urban regions. Southern Italians spread out more evenly across the nation. This is why the majority of US stereotypes for Italy and Italians in general are Southern Italian stereotypes.

They met in Roma, which is where me and my brothers and sisters were born and grew up. Yes we are all tall, blonde, and blue eyes also. We migrated to the States in the 90s. While I spoke Italian at home, I developed an American accent and spoke English pretty quickly and my friends didn't know I was Italian for a very long time. When I talked about my parents, I would just say they were European. Years later I learned that most of the people in my town thought my parents were Swedish. 🤣 I love it. But what's even funnier to me, is that when I go back to Italy and speak Italian, while I am a native speaker, I do have an American accent and Italians don't believe me when I say I'm Italian born and bred. With the way I look and the way I sound, they just refuse to believe I'm Italian. 🤣
