im 3rd gen italian in uk, though i did lived in italy partially when growing up. I use odd words and phrases but I'm definitely not fluent like my bilingual dad. I'm pushing myself to get better so I can make sure my daughter can speak it

This is so interesting to me!! For my sociolinguistics class, I interviewed my in-laws for my final project. It was really interesting to see how their relationship with Swiss German has evolved over three generations (the first generation moved to Geneva from the Swiss German region 60 years ago).

We have the 3rd generation situation with my kids. Meanwhile, my eldest speaks French, Chinese and English. My biggest parenting regret is not teaching him my parents’ dialect and Italian

Absolutely. Our language is gone after my generation. Even though my parents tried so hard. I can’t pass down my crappy language skills to my kids.

Met a new yorker who said she was Sicillian. Fully sicilian. She did a dna test and she was 96%! She was more Sicillian with two generation raised in NY than I was irish with two irish parents born and raised in ireland.

I knew when most Italians migrated to the USA, and I knew when most Italians started speaking Italian… I just never put 2 and 2 together. Very interesting insight. Their local languages might have been very little use even in communicating with other Italians, the dialects are so many and so different.

I have had this conversation with friends. I think for two reasons. Parents grandparents wanted to learn an improve there English. As well as in the 60s or 70 speaking another language would label you as a foreigner. It’s not a bad thing. But people are mean. My dad an uncle never learned Ukrainian.

I would add because their churches would have been in Latin, they also didn’t have a religious institution that would maintain the language

my paternal grandfather came to Argentina when he was 8 from Latina in Italy. He was bull!3d relentlessly at school for not speaking River Plate Spanish and being Italian. Thus, he decided to stop speaking the language and now can no longer speak it

My great grandparents very intentionally didn’t teach their children Italian because it wasn’t safe. My grandfather mourned how it stunted his relationship with grandparents until he died, 80 years after his last grandparent died. People who mock the generation who lost the language are just hateful.

My great great grandmother came from Italy in 1914 with her older brother/only remaining guardian. She wanted her children to fit in as Americans. That was the attitude at the time. Her kids had only a little Italian and, their kids had none.
