    Very interesting!

  • @blackdiox9140 says:

    Your explanation is always pleasant to listen to.

  • @Black-And-WhiteWorldview8488 says:

    So basically a dialect of Italian in the end

  • @SamSung-jn5fi says:

    Egg plant Italian.

  • @ConradCarelandish says:

    Is it nearer to Italian than Romanian and Spanish?

  • @neshiasu says:

    MALTA MENTIONED🔥🔥🔥🔥

    • @mithridatesi9981 says:

      Do you consider European or Arab ?

    • @neshiasu says:

      @ As for my opinion Malta is absolutely European, even if Maltese language is a far derivative of a medieval dialect of Arabic. It’s important to note however that their sense of belonging stems from their own view of their culture and their own self-identification, which is predominantly European from what I have seen and heard.

    Rogan as cultural as always haah

  • @danstgt says:

    Like Corsican and Sardinian, Sicilian is mostly ranked as its own language for the differences to Standard Italian in both vocabulary and grammar are rather strong.
    This notwithstanding, all three belong to the Italian branch of Romance languages.

    • @Kurdedunaysiri says:

      Actually Sardinian is already the most unique Italic (Romance) language so not open to discussion. Sicilian is linguistically closer to Italian than Venetian, Lombard, Ligurian, Piedmontese or Emilian Romagnol. So if it a language then those are definitely separate languages too. They are actually closer to French. For Corsican it is different. They actually can understand and be understood by Italian speakers much better than all. It is closely related to Tuscan. Maybe they could be two major dialects of the same language, Italian language maybe with or without Umbrian (Central Italian).

    • @nagone11 says:

      The spelling of words in Sicilian are a little different than mainland Italian.

    • @michelefrau6072 says:

      Corsican is literally the closest language to central italian languages (italian derived from literary Florentine), Sicilian belongs to the same group, the italo Dalmatian with Neapolitan, while Sardinian belongs to its own group, the insular southern romance, with extincted siblings as proto-corsican and afroromance spoken in North Africa, there are no other languages with the same features (vocalism, sigmatic plural, salty articles, sandhi of simple voiceless plosives)

  • @Groggy337 says:

    What? Rogan didn’t have a nuanced understanding on the issue?

  • @Kurdedunaysiri says:

    Technically the language is also spoken in southernmost tips of Italian peninsula too

  • @nagone11 says:

    Joe Rogan is a piece of work lol. But Langfocus has been on top of this language game for some years, and I certainly have learned a great deal from this channel. Sicilian has some Spanish in there as well from what I can tell. Pretty decent Sicilian was spoken in the Godfather, some words similar to Trabajo were used for work where in classical Italian Lavorare the verb is used. But both Dialects of Italian are pretty similar.

  • @luisdelaro5a says:

    I don’t know if this has been explained (by you) but I’m in Austria and turns out that there are dialects here and in Germany as well. Even my Deutsch teacher -from Germany- told us that some of them are for her like a complete different language (so it’s a super strong accent, at least…?). What’s up with that?

  • @angelofasanaro1584 says:

    We do not now berberi lessic influence because amzigh alpha beta Is unknown . It Is like egyptian copto in gerogliphic that rosetta tablet of Napoleon Expedition offered to learners old languages. Berberi are soldiers of hemirates arabian conquest.

    • @esti-od1mz says:

      Sicilian has no berber influence: amazigh languages are very well alive in northern Africa, and sicilian, being a completely different language, does not share phonology neither grammar with amazigh languages. However, we sicilians use some words from arabic brought during the muslim invasion. Also, amazigh languages has been written down since many centuries ago.

    • @Sari-b7k says:

      Tamazight has been written down for thousands of years…
