What’s up guys!
Today I an going to see how much I as a Spanish speaker understand three Italian languages.
Sicilian, Venetian and Neapolitan. I am going to rank them from 1-5 to see how much I understand. I challenge you to listen to these languages and comment below your scores. Don’t forget to include where you are from and what languages you speak.
And don’t forget this is part of a series featuring Romance languages and beyond.

We are gonna start with Sicilian the language from the Island of Sicily and some southern regions of Italy! This language is a very Mediterranean language that has been influenced by many languages including, local indigenous languages, Greek, Arabic and Latin.

Neapolitan vs. Spanish
Next we move to the former kingdom of Naples, adopted home of the late legend and my tocayo Diego Maradona.Neapolitan is spoken by about 7.5 million people and it is related to but not mutually intelligible with Italian. It is spoken in several regions of the south of Italy, and its origin dates back to the times of Pompei

It used to be a very prestigious language in the times of the Republic of Venice, and even today some companies use Venetian in ads to give a venetian flavor.
