Itanglish is
a language founded by Italian immigrants. Only Italian immigrants
and their children understand it. Recent additions to our vocabulary
list come from South Hackensack (NJ), from Staten Island (NY) representing
what is described as the "Sicilian/Brooklyn" dialect,
and from Newton (MA) where most of the residents come from Central
Italy, particularly the village of San Donato Valle di Comino and
Atina, both in the Frosinone Province of the Lazio region of Italy.
Many of these terms may sound familiar. You may have some of your
own. Feel free to add to this list! Send me your ideas and contributions.
Many thanks, Rita Susi [Email: rita@northendboston.com]
