[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Northern Italians in Florence and Rome consider themselves the "quintessential Italians". They consider their accents to be the proper was to speak, and they consider themselves to be more educated and enlightened. After all, it northern Italy was the birth place of the Renaissance. Southern Italy is generally not as well-off.[/quote] Dialects are EVERYWHERE. They're regional. As a Southerner who knows the standard Italian as well as our dialect, I can tell you that the Southern Italian dialects - with the exception of Sicilian dialects - are much closer to the standard that Northern dialects are. Study the language, live there a few years, and listen to the dialects of the North and South before you post again. [/quote]
