      Actually, the regional languages of Italy are more dialects than languages. A rule of thumb I personally use to distinguish the two is mutual understanding and numbers: basically every city in Italy speaks a different dialect, and many times an Italian can't understand the dialect speaker, but it almost never is true the other way around. Neapolitan is an exception, together with Sardinian and a couple others from what I can remember. If you want some tips about Italian ask away, I'd be happy to help :)

      Only around twenty percent of Welsh people can speak Welsh and many of those will use English more often. So it's not unusual at all for this man to be struggling. He probably just learned a bit in school. It is more common for Welsh people to speak Welsh than Irish people to speak Irish though.

    This is all lovely, to be honest. I'm only Portuguese myself, but enjoyed this immensely. Nerd factor: seeing a Fiat Uno parked on the street feels like home. I was fortunate enough to visit Italy for 2 weeks with some friends in 2011. We even were so bold as to rent a car - I was the driver. Navigating city streets and overall roads was also interesting.
    There's something uber cool about Xiamanyc that his videos make you feel at home with the culture and language even thought it may be a different country, a different language, and many many years gone by.

    You should go to Friuli and do the same with their native dialect! It’s a whole language on its own too :) doesn’t sound Italian or Spanish or anything you’d expect. Their words and names don’t typically end in vowels and the “n”’s on the end of words has an “ng” sound. SO many unique sounds!

    wellcome! I was studying English for a month at the age of 14 in the south of England, and there was a Neapolitan boy who had become the target of the English teacher. At a certain point the boy got worried and said: "I know already two languages: Italian and Neapolitan, I speak a little French and understand English, my mother sent me here by force, this old woman doesn't wash or put on powder, she only knows English and claims to be superior to me?! I propose that we stay an extra hour in class to teach you Neapolitan! the whole class was enthusiastic about the idea except one Japanese, who was 'convinced'... in twenty days that young man he practically taught us that the languages spoken by sailors must be thought of like this: there are two boats at a certain distance and the sea is very rough, what do you use to make it clear what you shout?! the vowels!!! cut the vowels and you will understand much more if you know the languages of the rulers of those lands... On the contrary, in the high mountains consonants are used much more because the vowels create the echo. Today I understand, I don't speak, Neapolitan, and a little Calabrian which is much more difficult.
    ​in Italian and Neapolitan you have to use the solar plexus, like in German, think... 120º f. 85% humidity, no air conditioning... physically painful to speak of!! She takes a deep breath and comes up with a quick thought and we end up going down; blowing air up your nose and using your mouth as a speaker.
