Ragiuni hai, a lingua siciliana è parrata NDA tutti i patti ro munnu unni ci sunu i nostri paisani, e ppoi non nsa scuddari Ca prima Ca nascivu a lingua italiana nascivu a littiratura siciliana sutta u regnu di Federico. II di Svevia mperaturi e re di Sicilia. Bravu diffunni a nostra lingua e riordaci ai nostri sicilian- americani quali sunu i nostri radici.ciau e binirica

uah agg studiat u carminiell arturo ncopp a l'isola d'arturo nto procida mo teng na capa tantttt ... carminiello n'omme d'origine sicula uah.

Il tuo imitare il "siciliano" è lodevole, ma la lingua Siciliana non esiste, perché ogni provincia della Sicilia ha una propria cadenza e terminologia. Tu, diciamo che fai la ripassata al dialetto zona Agrigento-Caltanissetta. A Palermo si parla in un altro modo. A Messina completamente all'opposto. A Catania è un'altra zona e fino a Siracusa.Nel Trapanese hanno altra cadenza e parole. Senza contare i dialetti gallo-italici e albanesi. Comunque sia, divertiti a imitare il "Siciliano".

Unni si, Nick! Mesi faci ca 'un ti videmu! Tutt' a postu?

Iu amu ca lu sicilianu puru parrannu nâ chiesa/missa (Battista/Cattòlicu/ e cchiu).

i hope sicilian makes a comback and become a common language in sicilly again. greetings from Germany.

Where'd you go, Nick? You disappeared...

Ciau! Sugnu nu sicilianu di Francia e mi piaciunu assai li tò vìdiu, parri abbastanti lentamenti, è bonu pî nun-matrilingua. 'N Francia ci sunnu assai picca risorsi pi nzignàrisi la lingua ma pi furtuna, parrava già ngrisi e nu pocu talianu dâ scola. Dunca mi nzignava sta lingua da sulu pirchì a casa me nun si parrava lu sicilianu, tranni quarchi palora ca lu me nannu certi voti diceva. La me famigghia vinìa di nu paisi vicinu a Curliuni e prima si nni jìu n Tunisia, unni c’era na granni cumunitati siciliana dâ fini XIX â mità dû XX, e appoi vinni ‘n Francia.

Where'd you go, Nick?

Potresti fare il palermitano?

To learn Sicilian without learning Italian, that would be ridiculous! Why would you put in the effort? You could get 2 languages for the effort of one and a quarter.

io qui perche sono innamorata di un siciliano (con cui neanche parlo, per ora)

Mizzica ma si bonu.

So it's hard like English

It’s so hard to find resources for Sicilian! Especially the specific dialects - go figure you’re learning the western dialects and im searching for the eastern ones lol ah well I’ll be watching your other videos anyways lol

Nicola, pirchì ti tàġġhiasti û mustàzzu ?

il tuo accento è molto americano infatti da siciliano avevo fatica a capirti

Si veramenti bravo. Ti capisciu buonu e u parri buonu.

Chèst canal chì l'è veramént interesànt! Mì sun 'n apasiunaa de lengua lumbarda e sun dree a stüdià el milanès (datu che sun de Milàn) e pensi che tücc i lenguv regiunai gh'han de vèss salvà e rivalütà.

OMG I finally found someone who realized this! When I went to Brazil, it was much easier for me to learn the language than in northern Italy (As a semi-Sicilian speaker). There are many other examples as well. One interesting historical note is that the Pheonicians settled both Sicily and Portugal

Nick your pattern of speech, pace and mannerisms make your videos the single best for learning the Sicilina language. Punto! Grazi mille amico

I witnessed the Problem #3 There is a pastor in Palermo who discourages me to study Sicilian He's actually from New York. He said that Sicilian is only spoken by the elders, which I do not believe. But because I'm in love with and I love Sicilian language, I continue to study, speak, and share it to my fellow Filippini, including my girlfriend!

I love that you speak SLOWLY and CLEARLY! When you do that I can understand pretty much EVERY WORD! THANK YOU!👏

NICK! Man, it's awesome to see you speaking your heritage language (et j'sais que tu le parles avec ton bébé comme moi)! And it's really helpful to see subtitles in Sicilian, Italian, and English. I probably told you this, but my mom's grandparents came from the Campobasso area in Isernia in the Southern half of the boot. A village called Sant'Angelo del Pesco. It's now in the region of Molise, but Molise didn't exist when they left. It was pretty much Southern Abruzzo when they left around 1910. So the area they're from, they would've spoken a dialect of Abruzzese, which I know is a Neapolitan language but is quite different from what they speak in Naples. I think there are even less resources for Abruzzese, but there's a decent amount for Napulitano. Both Italian and something closer to what my great-grandparents would've spoken are next on my list to learn. I've always loved how Sicilian sounded, though, so this is great. Even if I learn Italian first (which is more likely), I'd rather learn to speak with the accents of of the South rather than those of the North. Concerning the topic of the video, though, as I'm sure you know, the same debate exists among people wanting to learn Louisiana "Cajun" French (which is arguably distinct enough to be considered its own language separate from International French depending on the variety) and Louisiana Creole, a.k.a. Kouri-Vini (which is even more distinct from French, especially in its grammar, despite the fact that it is highly mutually intelligible--but sometimes asymmetrically intelligible--with French, but especially Louisiana French. My advice with these two varieties is it depends on your intentions. There are enough resources out there that, if your intention is to communicate with family members who still speak the language, there's no reason why you should feel like you need to "go through" standardized French in order to get to LF or LC. If you're of the attitude that you need to get "good enough" in French before you move on to either of Louisiana's French-based languages, all your loved ones who speak the language will die before you feel you can move on. But now, especially with Louisiana French, I don't see a problem with starting with International French IF Louisiana French is more of a hobby or casual interest and your main goal is to communicate with Francophones from all over the world first and foremost. With Louisiana Creole, though, it's a little different, and French just may be more of a distraction than it is an aid in learning Kouri-Vini. For Louisiana French, I will say that I was surrounded by the language growing up, so that helped a ton, but even then, I did supplement my learning of LF with some basic standardized French learning material. And that might be the reality of learning Sicilian. I really have no idea. I'd imagine you do also come across some Sicilian Italian in your journey learning actual Sicilian. Is that ever the case?

I haven’t heard Giufà since my aunt used to call me that as a kid. 😂😂

Thank you so very much for this, Nick! So glad I found your channel.

forçu

Hi Nick! Is there a Sicilian word for 'friend' that is used for male and female together, besides the individual cummari, cumpari?

Sabbenerica Nick. Ppi nun siri sicilianu a parri abbastanza bona a lingua, ssi problemi cchî littri duppi comu ntî "cannolu/cannuolu" mi fanu pinzari ca criscisti ccô nglisi comu lingua matri. Nun sacciu chi sicilianu stai sturiannu, ri quali zona, ntê banni miei "Vê mangiallu" nun si usa, si po' diri: Mû (mi lu) vaju a manciari - Mû va' manciu - Vaju a manciarammillu.

Beddo! Beddissimu!!! Auguri da New York 😎🗽

Why did you stop the videos man

Un bellissimo film da vedere: i cento passi. Spero lo vedrai ❤

U Sicilianu si parla puru la Calabria e l'u' salentu è na lingua no un dialettu. Si un si impara a scola é sulu na questioni politica, dal 1861 quannu si fici l'unità d'italia a vantaggiu du nord Italia pi' impuviriri a Sicilia e fari emigrari i siciliani.

Parrannu parrannu 'a pronunciazioni arrinesci megghiu.

grazi da un altru sicalu-americanu. Parlo italiano 100% terzo generazione ma preferisco imparare la madrelingua della mia nonna nata in Sicilia. Spero un giorno che posso scrivere questo anche in sicilianu.

I was wondering about this exact topic. My wife and I are trying to get proficient in Italian first and hopefully one day we can learn Sicilian as well. Her Nonno is from Vicari and her Nonna from Nicosia. My father-in-law grew up speaking Sicilian at home even before English. I only recently realized how different it can be from the "standard" Italian. But you make it not seem quite as impossible. Haha! Thanks

Si!!! Forza Sicilia

Grazie Assaij Nick! Forza Sicilia Bedda

Thank you. I am happy I found your channel. I too am in Texas. Would you consider zoom classes to teach?

❤ thank you, I am trying to learn. You speak so clearly will continue to follow
