起源


儘管它的起源仍有爭議,大多數語言學學者將西西里語追溯到公元700年左右居住在島上的人所使用的一組語言,並不是所有的語言,可能都是印度教-歐洲起源的;西卡尼人來自伊比利亞,利米人來自利比亞,西卡利人來自義大利大陸。許多語言的影響伴隨著侵略者的浪潮:從閃米特語,腓尼基語和布匿語,迦太基人的語言,然後是希臘語,直到後來的拉丁語,再到羅馬人的語言。
因此,它基本上是一種真正的地中海語言,阿拉伯語和阿拉伯語的影響也通過征服而分層。西西里的語言或其他已經在使用的語言的拉丁語滲透很可能很慢,不是特別能識字(不是高拉丁語),並且在不同地區有不同程度的紮根。阿拉伯的影響也是如此,在西西里島的一些地區,這種影響持續得更久更強烈,而在其他地區,希臘羅馬的影響最為強烈。因此,所有的影響都以不同的方式嫁接在不同的地方,還有一些其他的:法語,Provençal,德語,加泰羅尼亞語和西班牙語。
