I have heard it said that Sicilian is closer to the Original Latin than is Italian, also what dialect is spoken most in Sicily today? (Italian or Sicilian) Also does Sardinia have a different dialect that mainland Italy and Sicily?
And was not Corsica once part of Italy? And I have to ask was not Napoleon Bonaparte of Italian ancestry not French?
Hi Suanj, i tried to explain that "Sardo" it's a real lenguage not only a dialect. In Italy we've got hundreds of dialects but everyone comes from the same "old language". Sardo instead is a true language, and obviously derives from latin and greece. In Sardo language than we've got different dialects but they're based on sardinian language not on italian languagesuanj wrote:Andrea.. the Sardo coming from greek and latin language. ..as italian.... but the italian language is perfectioned in the centuries, the Sardinia language, because isle, having an close culture and withholding archaic words it has had various evolution.. with most strong spanish's influences ... after the 1700 with Piedmont's domain.. in 1800 the Italian language asserts and the Sardinia language it becomes Sardinia "dialect" with importance of all dialects of Italy......
Not true. The italian dialect closer to original latin is tuscan dialect, from which is descended modern italian language.Giovanni1950 wrote:I have heard it said that Sicilian is closer to the Original Latin than is Italian
It depends, in Sicily today all people speak italian, but they also speak their own dialect too. Sicilian dialect is divided into 10 or more sub-dialects. Some linguists consider sicilian a language, even if is not used as an official language.also what dialect is spoken most in Sicily today? (Italian or Sicilian)
Sardinian dialect, divided in many sub-dialects, is officially considered a language.Also does Sardinia have a different dialect that mainland Italy and Sicily?
Corsica language is considered an ancient tuscan sub-dialect, and closer to Italian than french. Southern corsican dialects are stricty connected to northern sardinian dialects. All the typical surnames of Corsica are italian: Paoli, Bartoli, Peretti...And was not Corsica once part of Italy?
Bonaparte was of italian ancestry. From Liguria, Tuscany and maybe from Treviso, Veneto.And I have to ask was not Napoleon Bonaparte of Italian ancestry not French?
