Dialect comparison

Neapolitan vs Venetian

Compare two dialects of Italian side by side — where they're spoken, what they're called, and how they relate.

Napulitano

The variety of Naples and surrounding Campania. Often classified as a distinct Italo-Romance language; a major literary and operatic medium.

Vèneto

The Romance variety of the Veneto region. Linguistically distinct enough from Italian that many linguists classify it as a separate language.
