Sicilian Language

Does anyone on the board know how to read and write in Sicilian?
Thanks

Well, if you need to have a Sicilian text translated, I can try, but I honestly can't write.

Thanks anyway. I have a cousin in Sicily who I found through geanealogy research. He doesn’t understand regular Italian too much. I wanted to compose a short note to him with a few pictures to see if he recognized anyone. I was using google translate but they don’t do Sicilian. Will ask around locally. We have Sicilian American Societies that may be able to help. Thanks for answering.

The fact that he can't understand Italian nowadays means he has not much school education. If so, writing Sicilian wouldn't help, or would even be worse. I think it's better writing Italian, if he can find someone who reads the letter for him.
