[Lexicog] Particularity of Neapolitan grammar - origin?

[Sabine Cretella]

Good evening!

I was just checking the new Neapolitan lemmas we have around and there 
is one particularity that makes it different from Italian.

Example: your mother in Italian is "tua madre" and in Neapolitan "mammate"

So the possessive is directly connected to the noun.

Can someone of you help me to understand from which language this way of 
creating words comes from? Which other languages use this way of 
creating a compound?

Thank you!!!

Best, Sabine
