Dante too, especially Dante

>>75734202
The actual italian was engineered to have a bit of every language spoken in the peninsula actually. Dante himself was inspired by sicilian literature. The language was simply borrowed by people who lived so far back in time.

Isn't Sicilian the first one with la Scuola Siciliana ?
I believe Tuscan was choosen because of the high number of poets and author as well as all the renaissance stuff.

>>75734307

Germanfag here.
The Low German dialect of the area where I grew up has been on the path to extinction for the past 200 years. It's so bad that people tend to think of the area as speaking the purest form of Standard German.
I've been trying to learn the local form of Eastphalian Low German, with a few superregional influences. It's easy because it is pretty close to German and English, including lots of words that have survived into present-day colloquial German of the area. But it still is an independent language that has almost been forgotten, except by old hicks living in the countryside.

Which one? Can you give an example?

Southern sounds better. More stern, less gay.
