If you meet with some new person u'll do ur best to don't use dialect words or expressions...even if it can sound funny. Moreover, I gotta say that this situation isn't the same for all the dialects:for ex Milanese is considered more valuable than Abruzzese!!And in general, we have to say that the North Dialects are considered nicer and noble cuz of their heritage and sound.It's a sort of racial division between North and South Italy  what can we do? Maybe this is the real reason cuz they can't be considered real languages!who knows... |
Thats what frustrates me here in US is most people have no clue of the different dialects of the country of Italia.
The same goes for here in US in regards to dialects on other parts of the country. In the south we think people up north sound funny as they have a East Coast dialect (a higher nasal sounding voice like in the TV show "Family Guy". Then the West Coast thinks the southern people sound "lazy" and most do! Especially in the deep south like the Carolina's. Then New Yorker's talk very fast and seem rude to most of the country. I guess it's always going to be goofy! Ja ja!
