It feels more or less like a standard language, as a conlang... I can see that, but it is a lot more organic than Esperanto. I hate that conlang so badly as... It doesn't work as it uses too much latin vocabulary and feels like a knock-off latin unlike Standard italian where it is a good standard form that doesn't cause too much issues with its latin roots.
@@MaoRatto I mean esperanto has a super dense agglutinative system utilizing fewer vocabulary. That basically makes it unintelligible to romance speakers.

As an italian from Rome, hearing "Come butta" at the beginning made me laugh a lot But I also admit that hearing "Cazzo" during the moment you were showing a Manzoni's photo made me laugh even more Ti voglio bene
Well almost, in italian it's the 3 person singular while in german it's the 3 person plural that is used for being formal, so it's actually fairly different
As an Italian, you have done an amazing job introducing the audience to the complexity of our linguistic history and the differences among native speakers. And also, you nailed that "informal Rome Italian" video opening, "sottone" sounds quite an accurate translation of "simp" 😂 Just one correction: "ginocchio" reads more like "jinocchio", with a soft "g". As a personal note, accent-wise, I love accents from the Center-North (Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany, Umbria, Marche), they sounds so nice and welcoming! And I can tell you, if you think Italian sounds open and loud, you have likely known people from Rome or southernmore, people from the North tend to close most vowels and are usually more reserved. Anyway... when you showed pictures of Giorgia Meloni and Gigi D'Alessio I was about to close the video, but you saved the day quoting Franco Battiato at the end 😁 Italian is a conlang, Basilicata doesn't exist, nor does Molise
Finally! Someone who puts the finger on it. Corsica is an Italian island! It’s right there above Sardinia and facing the nearby Italian coast. They all have names like Rigatoni and Penne and they speak an Italian language. Now wether Italy wants Corsica back or Corsica wants to get back is another story. I wouldn’t dare trying to speak a few words of Italian because the person I’m talking to will immediately go on with the Italian and it’ll be too late to make them stop, added that it would be rude. P.S. the Syrian national anthem is right up there as well.
This is an internet myth to make people think italian is a constructed language but we do speak italian in all life settings so im sorry to bust ur bubble
@@grumpino8246 This video massively oversimplifies how the complex history of standard languages work. (Just because 19th century usually plays a big role in standardisation processes, this doesn't mean that they invent standard languages out of nowhere)
I would say that, although italian may differ a little bit depending on the area, it is fairly the same in all of Italy. That's because it is considered a prestigious language, and well educated people tend to speak the standardized version. Germans, austrians and Swiss tend to use their own version and orthography
@@grumpino8246 I know of course the kind of fun that Language Simp makes. 👀😅😂 I'm just picking it up. I'm just saying that in every satire lies a bit of truth. 😇
I'm not Italian and every time I hear Italian being spoken, I feel like eating delicious pasta in a candle light room, with soothing guitar music. It's the most attractive sounding language. Music to my ears.
You did miss out on the opportunity to discuss some of the fantastic Italian vulgarities, such as my favorite... porca miseria, (miserable pig), but also porca puttana (pig whore!) and porca Madonna (pig Virgin Mary!). Come to think of it, Italians do have quite the curious love-hate relationship with the pig.
I often like to explain "gl" as a /ʎʲ/, I've managed to teach to a friend of mine to pronounce that, and it sounds almost perfect. So yeah, perhaps that's the best way to describe it
As someone who is acquainted with many Italian Americans, I can confirm that they speak Italian better than mainland Italians. American Italian will become the new global language
Sottone per le lingue😂😂😂 è una traduzione di "simp" stupenda, However if you are really chads you should learn Venetian. Saluti dalla regione del Veneto 🇮🇹🇮🇹❤️, Viva Venezia!
@@Outer-Heaven_Supercomputer The most similar dialect to latin is Sardinian because it is very conservative and the vocabulary is more latin than others, hower a lot of other dialects have a huge connection with latin bc our languages all derives from it, all our languages have a residue of the latin neuter gender even if there isn't a third gender
I'm an American who is learning Italian. The way I think of saying "gli" is saying "yi" with my tongue touching the roof of my mouth. Italians, tell me if I'm totally wrong!
It's hard to explain, this is the way I do. While a normal l is articulated with the tip of the tongue arched 'up' against the alveolus, with "gli" my tongue is arched 'down', pressing the zone between alveolus and the palate,.
15:25 this derives from the fact that Italian dropped the neutral gender which is present in Latin. Many latin words are neutral, and the Italian words derived from these switch gender from plural to singular in almost each case
My friend from Italy is visiting SoCal, fresh from Verona, the city where Romeo and Juliet were busy being dramatic. He’s definitely going to be offended by this video, so of course, I’ll show it to him! He thinks me learning French is pointless and insists I should learn Italian instead-because, you know, Italian is basically a conlang made up of hand gestures and food names. Sorry, dude, but I’d rather not take lessons from someone who thinks “mamma mia” counts as a full sentence! And he loves hating on those East Coast American Italians who he says aren’t actually Italian-like, if you can’t pronounce ‘mozzarella’ without choking, do you even qualify? He nearly lost it when I said I loved watching “Jersey Shore” back in 2009 when it came out. I mean, who wouldn’t want to see a soap opera about people trying to be human?
Essendo cittadino della Penisola Italica, mi trovo a dover riconoscere, con ammirazione e onestà intellettuale, l’eccellenza che connota la Sua padronanza della lingua americana, la quale si distingue per raffinatezza stilistica e precisione quasi inattaccabile.
As an italian, we call them dialects because of propaganda. Since kindergarten they tell us that speaking any dialect is a rude thing and that the dialects are a distorted form of italian spoken by ignorants. As linguists say: "A language is a dialect with an army and navy".
Italian is my mother tongue and to put things into perspective it's such a difficult language that I learned English just by watching movies and reading books for children (got a B2 certificate without studying and I'm going for a c1 the next year). The region where the dialect is the closest to the one people tend to associate standard italian with is Emilia-Romagna.
Great video as always LS, love getting to see it. And I might check out the Lingoda Sprint, I'm curious how well small classes like that would work for me. For the next language review, it'd probably make sense for something like Polish, but there's also a lot of funny stuff you could probably do for Croatian/Serbian/Bosnian
Seriously, as an Italian I have to admit this dude said lots of truths about our language and culture, I’m really impressed. Just one thing: Italian is really a sort of conlang, but it was spoken by everyone in documents and literature even if there were many states for centuries across the entire peninsula. So Italian may have not been spoken by common people usually, but it was the language of politics and writing.
As an Italian, I present to you a quick guide to the most important dialects from Italy: Valdostano (from Valle d'Aosta): it is a combination of Italian and French Piemontese (from Piedmont): I come from Piemonte, and if you want to speak Piemontese, just say "neh" at the end of every phrase. Also, we tend to open wide every vocal. Genovese (from Genova): it's like Piemontese, but you have to say "Belin" instead. You're welcome. Milanese (from Milan): They tend to swear constantly using the word "Figa" which is literally the feminine genitalia (all the other dialects tend to use "Cazzo"); and in general we consider it as the gay italian: the stereotipical homosexual man in Italy has got a very strong Milanese accent. Veneto (from Venice): it's all about blasfemy. People from Venice tend to constantly say injuries towards God (which in Italy is tecnically illegal (dio cane che legge di merda)) between every phrase. Also, their dialect is surprisingly spoken in an important region of Brazil, I dunno why Bolognese (from Bologna): boh non lo so che cazzo volete da me sono Piemontese io so solo che a Bologna è pieno di comunisti Romano (from Rome): this is probably the most known dialect of Italy, because Rome is the most populated city, and also because of various artists and musicians that come from Rome (please go watch on Netflix the beautiful animated series made by Zerocalcare, they talk only Romano there). They tend to greet each other by saying "Ao", and they repeat it very loudly. Also, Maneskin are from Rome. Napoletano (from Naples): If the Romans tend to say "Ao", people of Naples use "Ue"; recently a lot of people from all over Italy know it because of its own genre of music, called Neomelodico. Gigi d'Alessio comes from Naples, and recently a lot of italian trap music use Napoletano. If someone say to you "Ue uagliù bell st'urulogg", they want to stole your watch. Also, you shouldn't walk along Via Brombeis in Naples, because an angry northern Italian could throw a nuclear bomb in that road as someone from Naples stole his motorcycle license plate. Molisano (from Molise): Pugliese (from Puglia): the only thing that I know is that they close up every vocal. Siciliano (from Sicily): yes, it's literally the mafia language. Also, they have a very funny way to say "little boy": "picciriddu" o "picciotto". funny word Sardo (from Sardinia): it's a very unique language on its own. Yes, they tend to duplicate every consonant as much as they tend to do anal sex with sheeps and goats while screaming "Ajò". People from Sardinia are very patriotic as their island is very far away from the main peninsula. Also, a very funny word is "Kunemammadù", which means "Your mum's vagina"; I dunno why I know that word. Ur welcum
the way romans and neapolitans greet each other by ao/ue feels similar to the way we romanians refer to each other, especially the neapolitan version, we also say ue but also sometimes ua
10:41 This is unironically true, I used to use an app where u can do voice exercises and get corrected by native speakers. When I did them I put on an accent like that and Italians were always like "Ottima pronuncia" 💀
The real drawback in Italian is that you have to pronounce every damn single syllable of a word to get it across, whereas in French the whole point is to pronounce as few syllables as possible, so that you know you've perfected your French pronunciation when you can drop ALL your syllables and still be understood by anyone who also speaks perfect French. There are videos here on the Tube of two native francophones having a 30-minute-long conversation in perfect silence! It was during Covid, so keeping your mouth shut was strongly encouraged anyway.😂😐❤
6:24 I would like to tell you that most of the time if you go just few kilometers away from the city you like, you just have a different variant of the same dialects . The today’s Italian dialects are what remains of the languages spoken before the Italian Reunification , back in 1861. From the fall of Roman Empire to the reunification the Italian peninsula was never united for a sufficient period of time to make one standard language. Indeed one of the main challenges of the Reunification of Italy was and still is making the conditions of the country standard, and its people , the motto “Abbiamo fatto l’Italia, ora dobbiamo fare gli italiani” ( Brutally translated as We made Italy, now we have to make Italians ) makes us realize how much Italy was and still is in some aspects divided
Hi Language Simp; as an italian, i can say that the grammar can be a lot simpler just by learning the present and "passato prossimo" conjugation; Furthermore, the word "coso" can mean everything based to the context of the situation while speaking 😄
Just to clarify tho italian regional languages are often called "dialects" in italian, that's just a common name, and they aren't in any way dialects of italian bc they did not develope from the italian language but rather they developed in parallel to it (I know he basically said it in the video I just wanted to make it more clear lol)

Fun fuct: the words that change gender from singular to plural would be actually neutral words cause they come from Latin netrual words. It happens the same thing in Romanian.
As a self-appointed guard of Vaticanese I approve everything this man has said in the video. Hence I officialy proclaim this content to be protected under the Pope and Matteo Salvini’s juristiction.
I decided to learn Italian ages ago , i realised it was easy and diversified to Greek, Russian ,Japanese , Swedish and Hungarian. It wouldnt surprise you to know that I got into learning languages 😂.
17:02 Do any of you know by any chance where this video of a girl doing a front flip in what appears to be a gym was recorded? I am Italian and that gym looks EXACTLY like my high-school gym. I atteneded high-school in Porto San Giorgio, a relatively small coastal city in the Marche region, and i swear to god, the gym in which i would have P.E classes looked the same as that.

@@LorRosengartsky Do you pronounce an "L" in "you"?
@@LorRosengartsky If you know Spanish it's basically the "ll" sound
So... like a German "j"?
@@Andreecals Yes like when you say "Ja", basically the Y sound
The real drawback in Italian is that you have to pronounce every damn single syllable of a word to get it across, whereas in French the whole point is to pronounce as few syllables as possible, so that you know you've perfected your French pronunciation when you can drop ALL your syllables and still be understood by anyone who also speaks perfect French.
There are videos here on the Tube of two native francophones having a 30-minute-long conversation in perfect silence! It was during Covid, so keeping your mouth shut was strongly encouraged anyway.😂😐❤
He actually made the video about Italian, and I asked about it a month ago, damn
6:24 I would like to tell you that most of the time if you go just few kilometers away from the city you like, you just have a different variant of the same dialects . The today’s Italian dialects are what remains of the languages spoken before the Italian Reunification , back in 1861. From the fall of Roman Empire to the reunification the Italian peninsula was never united for a sufficient period of time to make one standard language. Indeed one of the main challenges of the Reunification of Italy was and still is making the conditions of the country standard, and its people , the motto “Abbiamo fatto l’Italia, ora dobbiamo fare gli italiani” ( Brutally translated as We made Italy, now we have to make Italians ) makes us realize how much Italy was and still is in some aspects divided
tutto giusto!!!
incredibile.
bravissimo❤️🌼🇮🇹

YOOOOO HE DROPPED ANOTHER LANGUAGE REVIEW
Hi Language Simp; as an italian, i can say that the grammar can be a lot simpler just by learning the present and "passato prossimo" conjugation; Furthermore, the word "coso" can mean everything based to the context of the situation while speaking 😄
same in romanian with the word “chestie” similar to italian
Can you do turkish ? Also love the series
This!
Please do catalan next
Крутое видео, комментарий в поддержку. не знал, что итальянский не существует
15:48 if you are nostalgic you could also use "voi" as formal you, instead of "lei"
Just to clarify tho italian regional languages are often called "dialects" in italian, that's just a common name, and they aren't in any way dialects of italian bc they did not develope from the italian language but rather they developed in parallel to it (I know he basically said it in the video I just wanted to make it more clear lol)
Greek has 24 letters of which 10 don't exist in Nature:upside down L,triangle,O with bar,upside down V,three lines,Pi(a door),Sigma(a backwards 3),fisheye,pitchfork and Omega(a rainbow)
Day two of asking for a Perisan/farsi language review.

Why?
@@radeaglevlad why not?
I decided to dislike sorry 😐
Learn it regardless, coward
@@crbgo9854You don't want him to learn pasta language 😒 how salsa is that !
Ad an Italian, I can confirm everything in this video is perfectly accurate
You gave me a huge derialization moment, because technically addressing someone formally in german is also 'she' but actually it is 'they'.
Do a review on Catalan, its my favorite sounding language by far.
Fun fuct: the words that change gender from singular to plural would be actually neutral words cause they come from Latin netrual words. It happens the same thing in Romanian.

Ah ah ah! You like that Battiato album? "La voce del padrone"! Bravo, bravissimo! 😅🤣😂😂😀
As a self-appointed guard of Vaticanese I approve everything this man has said in the video. Hence I officialy proclaim this content to be protected under the Pope and Matteo Salvini’s juristiction.
The Italian radio operator in War Thunder sounds like an absolute gigachad, that alone almost made me wanna learn the language.
as a sardinian from Nuoro, i highly suggest every italian speaker starts saying 'bette'. it's easily the best word in the language
hahaha Bielefeld mentioned!!
I decided to learn Italian ages ago , i realised it was easy and diversified to Greek, Russian ,Japanese , Swedish and Hungarian.
It wouldnt surprise you to know that I got into learning languages 😂.
I can technically learn a lot of languages I just don’t have the time and motivation 😅
17:02 Do any of you know by any chance where this video of a girl doing a front flip in what appears to be a gym was recorded? I am Italian and that gym looks EXACTLY like my high-school gym. I atteneded high-school in Porto San Giorgio, a relatively small coastal city in the Marche region, and i swear to god, the gym in which i would have P.E classes looked the same as that.
Dude, you're my favorite italian.
