    I am born in Canada in a largely Italian populated area. My family is from Salerno so I identify with the neopolitan dialect the most. It's funny going into the Italian social club here where all the old men play scopa and briscola speaking to each other in their dialects. Most of us here come from Sicilia, Calabria, Campania, Apulia and Abruzzo but there is a decent amount of people from Marche and Friuli. Funny to hear them all in the same room arguing over a card game.

    This is the first time I’ve seen a video about Italian dialects and heard them spoken in one place.
    I’ve always been interested and intrigued by the Indo-European language group and the Romance language branch.
    As an Italian-Canadian, I speak and understand standard Italian and have some understanding of the dialects of my father (Marchigiano), my mother (Calabrese), my ex-wife (Abruzzese) and my current wife (Siciliano).
    I found several of the northern dialects very difficult to understand, and only picked up words here and there. I could understand Tuscan very well, but not Emiliano-Romagnolo as to my ear, they sounded like Portuguese. I didn’t really understand Napolitano or Pugliese. Nor Sardegnian. Missing from the video was Calabrese, which I thought was rather strange. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the video!

      Calabria is a region . Clabrese's dialects are separated in two branches: northern dialects are part of "napolitan language" (all the brown area in the picture), southern dialects are part of Sicilian language (all the yellow area in the picture). This video shows just Catania dialect of Sicilian language. So, calabrese dialects are a type of Sicilian.

    Italian is a very democratic language: basically it is has been crafted by artists and poets during middle ages, based on musical, poetic and assonance criteria with latin, and nobody in the common folks knew it till the modern era. No language from a dominant group was adopted, just a bit from each dialect. The same tuscan dialect, who was the base for the creation of modern Italian, was adopted due to the musicality and sweetness of its words compared to the others.

      yes,we use the standard italian to communicating with each other. Or else like,someone from Sicily wouldn't be able to understand someone from Tuscany or viceversa. Although everyone keeps his/her own accent when speaking. Don't know if this makes any sense :)

      I'm italian. We speak italian when: the dialect of the other person is very different, in the formal situation and in general all the smart persons speak more italian then dialect.
      I suggest you to pay attention on the accent of the different dialect, because usually italians speak more in italian then in dialect, but with the same accent of the dialect. An italian dialect, like all the language on the world, has its words and its accent more or less different from italian language and from the other dialects.
      Then, in North Italy the persons speak more italian then dialects, in the Middle Italy we speak so much in dialect but us dialect is very much near to the italian, in South Italy most of the persons speak more dialect then italian and their dialects are far from Italian. The accents of South are the strongest, of Middle are strong and of North are sometime strong sometime not so much.
      For example: a North person usually speaks in italian with a perfect accent, sometime instead has a very strong accenta, a Middle person sometime yes sometime not, a South person usually if speak italian you understand he comes from South for the accent.

      To be fair though, it seems like people imagine that Standard Italian is like a foreign language that Italians only occasionally use, which just isn't the case. They still hear and read Standard Italian everyday due to school, work and the media. Some parents speak dialect with their children and some purposely don't. In some places young people are less likely to speak dialect than others. In big cities dialects are less profuse, or more italianized.
      I never learned a dialect - I understand some romanesco, some ciociaro and some Neapolitan (Basilicata variety), but I can't speak anything but Standard Italian. I can still communicate with my relatives without a problem.
      A lot of people have accents when they speak Italian, but that depends on a lot of factors - I have relatives in Southern Italy with noticeable accents while my Southern Italian father doesn't have one.

    What I really like about all these languages we have are all the different local combinations you can find in "border" regions. I am from Bergamo, in Lombardy. Bergamo and Brescia used to be part of the Venetian Republic, until two centuries ago. Therefore in that part of Lombardy the language is a bit similar to Venetian, with some particularities that make it different to the Occidental varieties of Lombard. The language is the same, so I can understand all the different kinds of Lombard, but still you can find differences. You can find this phenomenon all around Italy. I love it.

      99 Tieni cocche hobby?
      100 Sì, me sento 'a musica
      I didn't translate some of these because they just don't exist in neapolitan and i found hard to adapt the sentences in neapolitan common sentences. So I didn't even translate hobby because it is rare to listen passatiempo, hobby is an international word and neapolitans commonly use it.
      Be aware to the pronunciation. The last vowel is pronounced as a schwa, it's muted and so other vowels in the middle of the words. For example, subbeto is pronounced subb't', only the u is pronounced, while the e and the o are muted. I tried to write the exact written neapolitan, but there are several pronunciation rules, as the d becoming r in some words. Some words are different because sometimes we use italian in place of neapolitan. So to say good morning you say Buongiorno (with neapolitan pronunciation buongiorn'), but day actually is translated as juorno or jurnata, not giorno as in italian.

Look how it looks catalan. I'm going to translate what yo said:
      "És una qüestió de practicitat. Anava bé parlar en dialecte quan la major part de les persones no es movien del seu país d'origen...."

    I loved this video! I am so fascinated by these kind of linguistic differences. I learned Arabic at University. My mother is Maltese, which is a distant dialect of Arabic, which helped me in in learning Arabic to a great degree; like a Portuguese speaker, learning Italian. Arabic has a standard literary form, taught across the Arab World, but is only used formally and not spoken on a daily basis. Arabs have a many dialects, each with varying closeness to the formal, grammatical language. I suppose Italian and Arabic are similar in that there is a formal language and dialects, with the difference that standard Italian is spoken on a daily basis. It would be weird for an Arab to speak in Modern Standard Arabic. I love the Romano, Napoletano and Pugliese dialects!

    • @fb4779
      @fb4779 2 года назад

      But the richness of the diverse dialects and cultures within a language group is fascinating. When you compare Italian to English for example, the average speaker in California won’t be a different from a guy in Toronto or London. A native English speaker can communicate with ease throughout the Anglo-sphere. However you take Terrone from the meridionale and compare them to some Italiani in Lugano and they’re very different. Their histories are distinct from one another and there is a colloquial barrier between a southerner and a speaker of a northern Italian dialect. Arabic and German are similar in that aspect. Moroccans and germans in Austrian or Swiss mountains look divergent from others within their respective language group. Its cooler than everyone being the same, thinking the same, and behaving identically.

    Actually in Italy, even neighbouring cities or towns speak differently. The dialects shown in the video are the major ones. I'm from Reggio Calabria and we speak differently than the ones in Vibo or Catanzaro, even though we are in the same region.

    Sono piemontese e ho capito bene solo il piemontese, l'italiano standard, il toscano e il romanesco. Comunque, oggigiorno dalle mie parti, in Piemonte, si sente poco parlare il piemontese e quei pochi che lo parlano sono persone anziane. Tra noi giovani nessuno lo parla e al massimo quando facciamo dei discorsi tendiamo a mischiare parole italiane e piemontesi (ma solo perchè nella mia compagnia siamo tutti piemontesi o comunque meridionali emigrati in Piemonte da tanti anni); insomma il nostro non è nè italiano standard, nè piemontese: io lo definirei italiano regionale del Piemonte. Io comunque, continuo a parlarlo in famiglia perchè secondo me è una lingua bella che merita rispetto e dovrebbe essere resa ufficiale così come dovrebbero esserlo tutte le altre lingue regionali italiane. Sarebbe bello se ogni regione italiana avesse la propria lingua regionale co-ufficiale con l'italiano, un po' come accade in Spagna.

      It's Edoardo De Filippo, it's "classical" neapolitan, the one you hear in ancient neapolitan music, theater plays and so on. The one you hear nowadays is of course a bit different and of course - some people can speak very fast, very messy, add a lot of slang to it and that of course may be very difficult to understand if you are not from there. If you speak it clearly and at a normal pace though, trust me, everyone is going to understand not every word but at least they will know what you are talking about

    Io sono catanese, non parlo il siciliano perché ho sempre usato solo l'italiano, ma ovviamente capisco bene il dialetto, vivendo qui. E ogni tanto lo uso per qualche battuta o espressione tipica. Io ho sempre viaggiato ovunque e da sempre, ho conosciuto persone da ogni parte d'Italia, ma ovviamente tra noi si parla solo in italiano, con una diversa cadenza sì, ma resta sempre italiano. Adesso, con questo video che contiene un confronto serratissimo tra dialetti e lingue, mi sto rendendo conto delle differenze davvero micidiali. Siamo un puzzle pazzesco e comprendo bene perché durante la prima guerra mondiale i soldati non si capissero tra loro, dato che la stragrande maggioranza parlava solo il proprio dialetto. È stata la TV, oltre agli studi diffusi e all'obbligo scolastico, a fare dell'italiano la lingua nazionale. Prima era una lingua riservata ai pochi che studiavano fino alle superiori o all'università. Per questo è naturale che ognuno di noi porti cadenza, fonetica e lessico del proprio dialetto nell'italiano che parla. Succede in quasi tutte le lingue, ma in italiano è tutto molto più estremo. È proprio questo che rende l'italiano una lingua unica al mondo.

    Emilian-Rumagnol, as many have said, sounds a lot like European Portuguese. Ligurian sounds to me like a mix of standard Italian, Brazilian Portuguese and a bit of French (note the front rounded vowels).
    What linguists have said is proven true by this video. From Tuscany to Rome, all vowels are clearly pronounced, but as one goes south the unstressed vowels are shortened and reduced. In Neapolitan they collapse into a short but still clearly audible schwa, whereas in Apulian the final vowels are clipped almost to the point of total disappearance. They sound like two completely different languages! Contrary to popular belief, Sicilian clearly pronounces all final vowels; said belief is instead a more accurate description of Apulian.

    Italian language was official language in preunification states, but was only formal and, I think, with some different accents depend on the state. But almost nobody could speak it properly. In my opinion three factors helped to spread italian language throughout the country: WWI, when italians of all peninsula fighted together, and they speak eachother for the very first time; WWII and Mussolini's regime, who contibuted to the creation of a national identity not based anymore on regional features; the spread of television, which brought italian language in every italian's houses.

    Anche tra il Bergamasco e il Brianzolo si sente la differenza DIBBRUTTO.

    • @-cosmopolita-
      @-cosmopolita-  7 лет назад +12

      Le differenze sono troppe. Secondo i linguisti, giustamente, tutti i dialetti della Sicilia, tutti quelli del sud della Calabria e quasi tutti quelli del Salento fanno parte dello stesso sistema linguistico, che spesso si chiama nell'insieme "Siciliano" per ragioni storiche, le cui radici risalgono alla scuola federiciana. Ricordiamo che fino a un paio di secoli fa, gli abitanti del sud, anche al di fuori della Sicilia, potevano essere ufficialmente denominati "siciliani", a ragione del nome del Regno delle Due Sicilie. La storia non si fa con "se", ma non è difficile da pensare che se quel regno avesse continuato la sua storia per la propria strada, oggi probabilmente un leccese o un molisano potrebbe essere chiamato "siciliano", senza che gli potesse venire in mente di affermare "ma io non abito in Sicilia!".
      Sotto a questo video ci siano molti calabresi che scrivono "manca il calabrese", ma manca anche il trapanese, l'agrigentino, il palermitano. E poi "calabrese" non dà riferimento a nulla di specifico. In Calabria i dialetti sono molti. Non c'è dubbio che ci siano molte differenze tra il dialetto di Reggio Calabria e quello di Ragusa, ma differenze enormi esistono già tra palermitano e trapanese.
      Lo stesso discorso vale per il Bergamasco e il Brianzolo. Tuttavia rientrano a pieno titolo entrambi nel sistema lombardo.
      Se avessi dovuto fare un resoconto di tutte le singole varietà linguistiche d'Italia, qualora avessi deciso di fornire un solo minuto di esempio per ciascun dialetto, il video sarebbe durato (senza esagerazione) all'incirca 6 giorni, perché per motivi storici e antropologici in Italia si sono sviluppate più di 8000 varietà romanze. ^_^

    • @giuseppedelfino8246
      @giuseppedelfino8246 4 года назад

      Il dialetto di Reggio Calabria fa però parte del siciliano isolano (essendo quasi identico al messinese), anche come cadenza. In altre parole a Reggio città non si ha quella cadenza che caratterizza il calabrese nel resto d'Italia.

    • @giuseppedelfino8246
      @giuseppedelfino8246 4 года назад

      In generale, comunque, il "calabrese" non esiste, perché prima di tutto la Calabria linguisticamente è spaccata in due (senza contare le minoranze linguistiche - anche se il greco un tempo era maggioranza a sud di Catanzaro), e poi perché in Calabria passano un sacco di isoglosse che danno vita - togliendo il dialetto di Reggio e quelli dell'estremo Nord - a dialetti di transizione che, in base alla distanza geografica, li fanno avvicinare più all'uno o all'altro gruppo linguistico.

      Più si sale meno capisco, voi del nord nemmeno scherzate con i vostri dialetti, il ligure, il lombardo, il romagnolo, il veneto e il piemontese sembrano dialetti dell'arabo per me.

    Piccola curiosità: l'esempio preso per mostrare la parlata del dialetto romagnolo è "In déu", contenuto in "Intercity", è un componimento di uno dei più grandi poeti romagnoli: Raffaello Baldini, originario di Sant'Arcangelo. In letteratura è uno dei pochissimi ad essere riuscito ad incarnare lo spirito del vero uomo romagnolo. Un Maestro.

    I was born/raised/live in Australia and my parents grew up in/are from Friuli Venezia Giulia. They spoke to my brothers and me in Italian as they knew it could be more useful than Friulano. However, until my father passed, my parents always spoke to each other in "Furlan", so we all understand it but aren't quite as comfortable speaking it. I was surprised there wasn't an example of what is spoken closer to Trieste (the Venezia Giulia part) but I was more surprised that, listening carefully, I could certainly make out words and sometimes get an idea of what was being said, even if not precisely.
    I find language a really fascinating topic to study and a big thanks to those who put this together ☺️

    It can even be more complex, basing on the province, dialects can vary slightly. Sometimes there are strong and particular dialects which distinguish from the ones you can hear in cities around it. Some small towns even make variations on their own!

    The real number of italian languages is much more:
    - there are a lot of minorities not mentioned: albanian, greek, croatian and catalan;
    - every languages mentioned has at least 2-3 variation so different that they have different phonetic and rules;
    - Sicilian in reality is splitted in 2 parts, Western and eastern. The eastern part spreads as far as southern apulia (namely Salento). Furthermore Maltese is linked to sicilian.
    - this fragmentation derived from 30 centuries of human history pancaked everywhere in Italy. It's the result of a lot of external contribution in major urban area coupled with isolation of little town on countryside, particularly on hills, mountains and isles, and you know we have a lot of them in Italy!

    It’s funny, my Italian professors in high school and university and even when I studied at Carlo Bo were all from Sicily. After we became very proficient in standard Italian all my teachers would spend time teaching us the Sicilian dialects - my university professor and my Carlo Bo professor both spoke what I remember was a Trapani dialect and my high school teacher was from down by Syracuse, or maybe it was Messina lol, I forget it has been many years 😂. I remember the Messina dialect had lots of Greek and Arabic influences to it. It was beautiful to listen to and speak. It just rolled off my tongue especially after some homemade vino!!

    This is an historical analysis, but nowadays the situation is different.
    You say: nobody uses standard italian pronunciation. I don't agree: standard italian is now the native language of most of Italians. Often young people can't even undestand the dialects of their own town. In big cities, in the north above all, also the regional inflection has disappeared.

    • @SiroMartini
      @SiroMartini 8 лет назад +2

      I agree, the relocation nowadays is strong. People move to study, travel, work... so it's normal that dialects are disappearing.
      I have also to say that standard italian has always been the written and spoken language of wealthy classes for centuries before the Italian unification.

      The video is about dialects, which are admittedly quite rarely used, but on that bit it's right: no one speaks standard Italian, everyone speaks it with a regional accent. From a linguistic point of view, a standard language is about pronounciation, not just grammar and vocabulary.

    • @nicoladc89
      @nicoladc89 6 лет назад +3

      Nowadays the maority of Italians speaks a dialect as native language. Ok, all Italians learn the standard Italian, there are people that speak italian without any accent, but they speak Italian in different way. You know, the language and the thought are closely linked. So, even if I speak Standard Italian, I speak Standard Italian in my regional way.
      A lot of these difference were incorporated into Standard Italian, but they are still there.
      For example, I use two different Italian, one when I speak Italian and one when I write Italian. Because my native spoken language is my dialect, but my native written language is Italian, its very difficult for me write or read written dialect.
      And I am lucky, because the costruction of a sentence in my dialect is very similar to the Standard Italian way, so there isn't a great difference, but if you read what I write and then listen to what I say, you could think: "these are two different people".

      The only places where people don't speak dialect are turin and milan, which are big cities in the north west who alsp had mass immigration from other parts of italy.
      But in most parts of italy,especially in small towns,dialect is very spoken even by young people.I come from a small town in emilia romagna,i'm 19 and speak both italian and dialect with my friends,we are just bilingual

      It really depends. For example, in Naples province Neapolitan languages is living a new growth because people are more aware of their identity. Just to say, when I was I child it was completely forbidden to speak Neapolitan in front of the family. Now, both my brother and I speak it a lot! Italy clearly tries politically to weaken the languages but it's not always successful. Disappearing of minority languages is something involving the North more.

      Ligurian LANGUAGE, mi raccomando ragazzi, chiamiamo le cose con il loro nome, altrimenti il rispetto nei loro confronti non cambierà mai. Il genovese, il ventimigliese (non so neanche se di dica così), il monegasco sono varianti, ovvero dialetti, della lingua ligure.
      Le affinità nel suono col portoghese credo siano casuali. Non ci sono stati grossi spostamenti di popolazione tra Portogallo e Liguria tali da giustificare una influenza linguistica.

      @hosseldonfearanen4775 8 лет назад +1

      Non è usando un'altra parola che si cambia il rispetto. E' modificando il rispetto per la parola. La parola dialetto ha assunto una valenza negativa in Italia per scoraggiarne l'uso a vantaggio della lingua comune. Ma ormai è un pregiudizio inutile.

      The sound samples didn't reflect the reality of Austro-Bavarian spoken in (South) Tyrol. These people were holding back quite a bit since they were obviously being recorded for some interview or TV/Radio show or whatever. That's not close to what you'd hear from an actual native speaker. The last women didn't even speak Austro-Bavarian, but rather standard German with her native accent.
