This video is very useful. But I would like to know what dialect of Sicilian this is? As Sicilian (at least from what I have researched) has A TON of dialects that can be pretty different. And as I said very useful for learning the basic words of Sicilian! Keep up uploading about the amazing language and culture of Sicily!

I still feel like Sicilian is a dialect because in English there is a difference between the accent of someone from New York and someone from like Mississippi like soda and pop and for and fer some of these differences are a letter difference (even if it’s spelled the same in English) and some of them are entire words but we still call the redneck accent an accent just like we call a New York accent an accent and there’s a lot of languages with very strong dialects especially Irish ALTHOUGH while Sicily isn’t considered a different country legally it’s so more culturally diverse I feel like it is kind of its own thing even if it still contains a lot more Italian aspects than other cultures within it it’s kind of hard not to say Sicily is different from Italy 😅

You crammed 800 +/- of very complex history into under 5 minutes. If this were a history of France, you would have said: "There was contention over popes, Marie Antoinette was beheaded, and Charles deGaul returned to Paris." If you don't want to put in any effort, then don't try at all. You gave short shrift to a very complex history, demonstrating that you have no respect for your subject matter.

I found some Arabic words there! Unni (where) sounds a bit like the Arabic word Wein وين (where) Taliare (to look) is very similar to an Arabic Lebanese word Talaa طلع... Which means to Look at something Sciuri (flowers) is very similar to the Arabic word for flowers, Zuhuur زهور Sciarriari (to fight) sounds like the Arabic word for fighting, Shijar شجار I find it fascinating that some of these words survived even though the Arab occupation of Sicily didn't last that long, relatively.

I'll tell you a couple more things: there are a lot of names of small towns in Sicily that come from the Arab domination(for instance: Marsala or probably Buccheri), and we've also adopted some "linguistic trends". For instance, I read somewhere the other day that Arab people say "Inshallah (sorry if I spelled it wrong)" and often times in Sicilian culture you would say the equivalent of "If God wants it". Other than that, up until last century, people often greeted each other saying "sabbinirica", meaning literally "may God bless you". I would really love to learn Arab because I think there are a lot of connections with Sicily yet to discover

With all due respect to the Arabs, they fled the island and left few traces, being Muslims they did not mix with the native population, they tend to isolate themselves, there is a cliché that the Sicilians are actually dark when compared to the Arabs (beautiful people) the Sicilians are much lighter, the Americans as usual from the height of their knowledge make a lot of confusion, generally the Sicilians if compared with the Scandinavians or the Anglo-Saxons are darker but they are much lighter than the North Africans who for those who don't know are part of the group of white Caucasians. Sicilians have in their DNA a genetic mix made up of Scandinavian, Spanish and Greek populations, all Indo-European populations, that is, coming from Northern Europe which have become darker over time. Many Sicilians are blond with light eyes!

Please as an American with Sicilian blood, blood that has been lost to time, make a documentary hours long. This was exquisitely well done. It is EXTREMELY difficult to find 'good' information about 'Isola del sole' that is not tainted or bias in a particular direction. I can trace my family heritage to roughly the 1800's to Sicily. As a child always I was fascinated with this Island, and the one ting that stands out is hearing the language, compared to main land Italy, sounding very different. Learn Sicily; You have re ignited an old passion for this beautiful Islands rich in history that I feel in my blood and soul and am truly interested in information that is unbias, as you seem to present it. THANK YOU 'LEARN SICILIAN', from the heart.

My great grandfather left Sicily in 1926, he was 14 years old. He landed in New York and was transferred to Philadelphia to live with his sponsor, his older brother. Him and his brother eventually married two sisters, from the family that were sponsoring other Italians. My great Grandmom, who was of Campaigna ancestry. His brother ended up doing 20 years in prison, and was deported for killing his wife, after he caught her in bed with another man. Other Italian immigrant ancestors were all from compaigna.
