Subject: Dictionary and Samples of the Sicilian Language

 
When I started learning Sicilian, the language needed a good online
dictionary, so my friends helped me create one:  https://www.napizia.com/

It's based on Arthur Dieli's vocabulary list:
http://www.dieli.net/SicilyPage/SicilianLanguage/Vocabulary.html

I'm filling it with grammar, poetry, proverbs and examples.  I hope it
represents the language well and I hope you enjoy it.  So far, I have added
926 proverbs.  My next task is to add poetry.  So far, only 43 examples of
poetry, but that number will grow.

I'm also looking for assistance.  I would especially appreciate samples of the
dialects spoken in Calabria and Puglia.  Most of my language resources come
from Sicily, but I want to record the whole language.  If you can contribute
something, please contact me or visit the "Aiùtami!" page:

Grazzi pi l'aiutu!
