When I was a child my mother didn't like we (me,my sister and brother) talked Sicilian dialect..
It's an old mentality in the South of Italy among some people
to think that speaking only Italian it's better to show your good education.
So, my friends tell me that my English is better than my Sicilian.
Tha's my revnge. Now I'm re-discovering the language of my country
and it's always funny to find words which sound like French or Arabic
or Spanish or greek or Latin or German ...
Sicilian is considered a language and not simply a dialect, as it was the first example of literary language at the court of Frederick II (XII century) , before first Dante's poems
when the so called Sicilian poets started writing love poems
not in Latin but in the volgare spoken in their land.
Under this "etichetta", from time to time you'll find Sicilian words or expressions ...
Have fun together!!!
