Calabrian language
Calabrian is the Romance language of the region of Calabria in Southern Italy. The language is related to Neapolitan and Lucanian . Southern variations of it are strongly influenced by Sicilian. The language has been extensively studied, catalogued and commented upon--most exhaustively by the German philologist Gerhard Rohlfs, who from the mid-1920s to the mid-1970s travelled the region extensively and assembled an imposing, multi-volume Calabrian dictionary.
While Calabrian is often conjoined in name with Neapolitan ( i.e., Napoletano-Calabrese), there are substantial differences between the two languages.
