Learn Sicilian - Pronouns 

Saluto da Milano

Norwegian has a similar level of variety in its words for “I”.

I have noticed some similarities in sound between Portuguese and Sicilian. I have read that they have a common linguistic source from the ancient world, Carthaginian.

​@@glittermamano they come from Latin

@@spongeboblover7052 Yes; the vocabulary and much of the grammatical structure comes from Latin because they both are local versions of Latin in isolation; however, there are certain sounds and vowels that they have in common that are not Latinate. My first language is Sicilian, and, when I co-authored a translation of a book from Portuguese into English, I noticed these similarities.

maybe later berber and arabic speakers brought these (alongside the vocabulary of these 2 languages we find in it)@@glittermama

@@spongeboblover7052 There are certainly many Arabic influences in Sicilian; there is even an Arabic dialect of Sicilian, probably extinct now. I remember reading, however, in an article focused on linguistics, that there was evidence of Carthaginian in the Sicilian, Portuguese, and Sardinian languages. But it's been quite a while since I've read anything about it, and I don't remember details. Sorry!! The western section of Sicily was under Carthaginian rule for quite some time, as was Sardinia, so it is logical that there are some linguistic remnants present.

hey we should make a club im loosing mine i have know one to practice

Jon Minnella I need to practice. Could you help joe?

@@jonminnella4157 There are a number of Sicilian sites on Facebook. Search "Sicilian" and "Learning Sicilian."

@@glittermama thank i will check it out

@@jonminnella2966 Also, there is a website called learnsicilian.com

We can totally work on that Fran. There are a few versions of the preterite (sicilian doesn't have passato remoto) in Sicilian so it might take a little preparation to do a good video though.

Paul Rausch yes!!! I’ve been learning the preferite di Catania e Trapani, su difficili 🤦‍♀️

Is there a specific preterite that you're interested in learning?

Paul Rausch hi Paul, there isn’t any one in particular, I’m interested in seeing some examples of the ari and iri regular verbs, their patterns and hearing them pronounced. Grazii assai 😁

Isn't "aiu" is the "I" conjugation of Aviri?

@@czure94 It's been a while since I saw this video, so I don't remember what I was referring to. It seems as though I might have been discussing "I": ah ee' u. ??
