I have no idea what they're saying, but they're enjoying the Hell out of themselves & the language is so melodic & expressive.

Thank you for this precious video. It reminds me of happier times

Sicilianu=lingua.

Talè che beddu video. I understood every word since I spoke this dialect with my dad every day. Brings back memories, thank you. 'Mi piacíu assai.'

I was in Sicily last year...that place is FINISHED....taken over by migrants and the Sicilians are too cowardly to say anything

Whats the poi t of this video if youre not gonna put subtitles?

Sounds like Latin language with Greek accent

First generation Aussie both parents, grandparents, uncles and aunties migrated from Sicily. Grew up bilingual speaking Sicilian at home and with my relatives and English at school work etc. lived in two worlds . Busted my ancestral village 3 times. So proving of my Sicilian heritage. Love hearing real Sicilians speaking in their language.

My Grandparents have both passed within these 2 years, but I will learn Italian and Sicilian to remember them by. I wish I had been intelligent and learned from them so that I could have spoken to them in it. My Grandpa was born and lived in Giardinello, Sicily till he was nearly 26, moved his family to Michigan. My Grandma used to speak to him in a mix of Italian and Sicilian, her parents were from Napoli and Genova, so they had their own very personal way of speaking to each other. It was very amusing! We knew when they were swearing even when my brothers and I were little. 😹

Please never take this video down. It actually brings tears to my eyes to hear my language spoken in the dialect of my grandparents. I listen to it often.

Sounds from my childhood when my grandparents and relatives of their generation were still alive. I miss hearing Sicilian so this is a memorable treat. They were from Alessandria della Rocca in the province of Agrigento. Ah memories...

it sounds like a mixture of catalan and italian . An incredible language.

I don't know if anyone will see this, but my great grandfather Francisco Anastasi and his wife Antonia Fornaro left Messina for Boston in 1907 aboard the SS Canopic. Cheers to all SICILIANS!

how rude that the auto translate says italian >: (

Beautiful. Took me back to the days with my family.

They also speak some Italian here, don't they?

Sounds like home

My grandma and her family came from Leonforte/Assoro. Proud to be Sicilian!

This video sounds like spaghetti! ☺😋🥰

I turn to here just to hear the language. Since my nonna died over 20years ago I heard less and less. My parents are dead now. I still understand it. Which makes me happy.

I don't understand a word but I can relate

That's the Sicily you should show on tv honest nice and generous people not the mafia son of a ........a freind from Algeria north Africa .

doesn't seem to me that they're speaking in proper sicilian... the accent is very strong but this is classic italian. i speak italian understand all of it.. but i lived in palermo for six months and couldn't understand people when they spoke in sicilian

I speak Spanish and I understand

Im romanian and sicilian language sounds very familiar for me and also their appearence and faces are very similar to Romanians. Sometimes sounds like old romanian language. I am pretty sure from there comes people in dacia (romania) 2000 years ago

The most beautiful part of the Sicilian language were the Blasphemies. As a child I use to take the air out of my grandpas tires just to hear the beautiful and melodic string of insults in sicilian...

Theres Calabrese dialect within.

There are so many opinions about dialects in Italy including that of Sicily. Firstly, much of what these speakers are speaking is standard modern Italian, not dialect. Some are speaking in a mix of Italian with a few dialect words. Every region of Italy has numerous dialects, not just one per region. The north of Italy dialects contain more German, archaic expressions from old French, while each region speaks a dialect according to its history. One dialect is not ‘more Italian’ than another. They are all Latin languages. They are all Italian languages. Much spoken here is largely Italian, (or the Tuscan default) adopted from the period of Dante onward with dialect words here and there depending upon the speaker. Each region of speakers speaks with an accent in Italian, informed from the dialect. As well, many words in dialect are essentially the same as that of Italian, though with some change, such as the ‘u’ sound from the old Latin (as we hear in Sicily), instead of the ‘o’ endings. There are many instances of these minute changes. The dialects of Piemonte, or Reggio-Emilia, Veneto, ecc. are largely incomprehensible to outside speakers. Napoletana for example is old Latin, Oscan, Spanish, Provencal and more. When spoken outside of its zone, there is virtually no understanding. This is the case for nearly all of the dialects in Italy.

Sicilian is a language, one of the biggest, as English and Arabic and they managed to convince the Sicialian people that it was a dialect. You can say things in Sicilian, you can not express in Italian. Italian was invented later, was it not? Then they took everything from Sicily - even it's language. Then you might have different Sicilian dialects around, dialects to Sicilian, NOT dialects to Italian, because Italian is completely different from Sicilian. It is another language. So this was done and there is no Sicilian-Sicilian dictionary made, which is a shame. So the people don't speak that other language Italian very well, or as well as they could, had they been allowed to learn their own mother tongue first. Sicily ought to get its industry, its money and creation and its language back and thus its pride and ethics.

Que cosa ?

Thank You I Enjoyed This Video!!!!!!!!!!

Un saluto a tutti l'emittenti

Sicilians definitely are arabs they are like us if i put my grandfather there you will think that he is Sicilian

Sicilians are the "suffering people." Our morals are so strong that we suffer constantly in each generation.

Sicilians are people who have been portrayed very badly in the media and movies. We are loving people who love our families to the point that, if necessary we will fight and die for them.

rispettu!

Trùoppu Bedda!!

I understand most of this; my grandparents' paese is in the Madonie. Love Sicily and Sicilian, my first language (and English at the same time).

I live 18km away from that marvellous village, I'd love to translate everything but I might get my pension before finishing it off :D

It sounds like Romanian.

Man in the striped shirt looks like my papa lmao

I recommend an excellent book for this argue "La Sicilia dell 800 tra giochi e tradizioni dal punto di vista di Giuseppe Pitrè" di Leda Nelli su amazon.

God how annoying. Take me to Scandinavia, please.

🙏🥇👏👏💓💓💎💗💗🥰🥰💖😘😘👏👏💓💎💗😘🥰🥰💓💓🙏🙏🥰💖😘😘

paisani a cefalu...

I feel like home and I don't understand a thing 😭 my family speaks Aramic. They are just the same, like my people🥰

Note that they are speaking Italian here and there in the video.

It sounded like Italian but it is not ... They talk different ... They have their own culture... Salute from North Iraq.

La mia stupenda Sicilia bedda, quanto mi manca. A NY da quasi 40 anni, ma la mia isola piu' bella al mondo, con la gente piu' bella e simpatica al mondo, la tengo nel cuore.
