Welcome to the Neapolitan wikibook!
Neapolitan (nnapulitano in Neapolitan and napoletano in Italian) is the Romance language spoken in the city of Naples, Italy and in all or parts of the surrounding regions of Abruzzo, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Lazio, le Marche, Molise, and Puglia. It is a beautiful, dynamic language and we aim to teach it to you! Southern Italy is known for its cooking, its music, its *criminal element*, its lovers and the general passion that surges through all of these things. The food alone is a great reason to learn the language!
Neapolitan can be a challenging language at times as it is non-standardized, that is, there is no absolute authority that is the go to source for spelling and usage. There are though many generally accepted norms used throughout Neapolitan's large literature and we will focus on those here while pointing out variants where it is important or interesting.
