Thanks for your opinion and nice to meet you KuzuKuzu
I agree with you and i never said Sicilian is more important than Nnapulitano or Liguru (still not recognized by Italy as well as Sicilianu).
But considering the age of Sicilian language (and the one of Nnapulitano, for example) [and its unique blend of Greek, Latin, Arabic, Amazigh but also Lombardo, Francoprovençal and Catalan languages] i'm wondering why German or Albanian, for examples, are officially recognized by Italy and not Sicilianu ?
German, Occitan, Albanian, Slovene, French or Slovene languages are recognized for historical reasons, and i agree with it but I think it's a mistake to refuse to acknowledge ancient languages such as Sicilianu (more than 10 million peoples speak it), Liguru or Emiglièna-Rumagnôla and, at the same time, to recognize Griko, Romani or Firulian languages.
