The Tarantino dialect traces its origins into ancient times, when the territory was dominated by [[Messapii]] populations.
The Tarantino dialect traces its origins into ancient times, when the territory was dominated by the [[Messapii]].

The colonisation by the Greeks founded Taranto not only as the capital of [[Magna Graecia]] but as a centre of poetry and theatre.{{citation needed|date=April 2012}} The Greeks had left considerable influence on Tarantino, both in vocabulary and morpho-syntax, and a very peculiar accent that scholars corresponded to [[Dorians|Doric]].{{citation needed|date=November 2018}} These influences are still found in many Tarantino words of Greek origin.{{efn|Tarantino words with Greek origins:
* {{lang|nap|celóne}} "tortoise" < {{lang|grc|χελώνη}} ''chelṓnē'' (It. {{lang|it|tartaruga}});
* {{lang|nap|cèndre}} "nail" < {{lang|grc|κέντρον}} ''kéntron'' (It. {{lang|it|chiodo}});
* {{lang|nap|ceráse}} "cherry" < {{lang|grc|κεράσιον}} ''kerásion'' (It. {{lang|it|ciliegia}});
* {{lang|nap|mesále}} "tablecloth" < {{lang|grc|μεσάλον}} ''mesálon'' (It. {{lang|it|tovaglia}});
* {{lang|nap|àpule}} "soft" < {{lang|grc|ἀπαλός}} ''apalós'' (It. {{lang|it|molle}});
* {{lang|nap|tràscene}} "weeverfish" < {{lang|grc|δράκαινα}} ''drákaina'' (It. {{lang|it|tracine}}).}}

Subsequently, the city of Taranto became a [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] city, thus introducing much [[Vulgar Latin]] vocabulary.{{efn|Some Tarantino vocabulary with Latin origins:
* {{lang|nap|díleche}} "skinny" < {{lang|la|dēlicus}} (It. {{lang|it|mingherlino}});
* {{lang|nap|descetáre}} "to wake up" < {{lang|la|oscitāre}} (It. {{lang|it|svegliare}});
* {{lang|nap|gramáre}} "to bemoan" < {{lang|la|clāmāre}} (It. {{lang|it|lamentarsi}});
* {{lang|nap|'mbise}} "bad, cruel" < {{lang|la|impensa}} (It. {{lang|it|cattivo}}, {{lang|it|malvagio}});
* {{lang|nap|sdevacáre}} "to empty, deprive" < {{lang|la|devacāre}} (It. {{lang|it|svuotare}});
* {{lang|nap|aláre}} "to yawn" < {{lang|la|hālāre}} (It. {{lang|it|sbadigliare}}).}}

During the [[Byzantine]] and [[Lombards|Lombard]] periods, Tarantino acquired [[diphthongization]]: the short ''o'' changed to ''ue'' and the short ''e'' changed to ''ie''; moreover, its vocabulary was further enriched with new words.{{efn|Tarantino words of [[Lombardic language|Lombardic]] origin:
* {{lang|nap|schife}} "skiff" < {{lang|lng|skif}} (It. {{lang|it|piccola barca}});
* {{lang|nap|ualáne}} "yokel" < {{lang|lng|gualane}} (It. {{lang|it|bifolco}}).}}

With the arrival of the [[Normans]] in 1071 and the [[Capetian House of Anjou|Angevins]] all the way through to 1400, the dialect lost much of its Eastern influences and was influenced by the [[Old French|French]] and Gallo-Italic elements.{{efn|Tarantino vocabulary of French origin:
* {{lang|nap|fesciùdde}} "fichu" < {{lang|fro|fichu}} (It. {{lang|it|coprispalle}});
* {{lang|nap|accattáre}} "to buy" < {{lang|fro|acheter}} (It. {{lang|it|comprare}});
* {{lang|nap|pote}} "pocket" < {{lang|fro|poche}} (It. {{lang|it|tasca}});
* {{lang|nap|'ndráme}} "guts" < {{lang|fro|entrailles}} (It. {{lang|it|interiora}}).}} In 1502, the city went under Catalan-Aragonese rule.

In 1801 the city was once again under the dominion of French troops, who left their mark with their [[Franco-Provençal language]].

Taranto has long been linked to the [[Kingdom of Naples]], which would explain some words in common with the [[Neapolitan dialect]].

Taranto has long been linked to the [[Kingdom of Naples]], which would explain some words in common with the [[Neapolitan language]].

Tarantino (/ˌtærənˈtiːnoʊ/; Tarantino: dialètte tarandíne [taranˈdiːnə]; Italian: dialetto tarantino, pronounced [taranˈtiːno]), spoken in the southeastern Italian region of Apulia, is a transitional language, most of whose speakers live in the Apulian city of Taranto. The dialect is also spoken by a few Italian immigrants in the United States, especially in California.

History

[edit]
Communication using dialect in Taranto.

The Tarantino dialect traces its origins into ancient times, when the territory was dominated by the Messapii.

The colonisation by the Greeks founded Taranto not only as the capital of Magna Graecia but as a centre of poetry and theatre.[citation needed] The Greeks had left considerable influence on Tarantino, both in vocabulary and morpho-syntax, and a very peculiar accent that scholars corresponded to Doric.[citation needed] These influences are still found in many Tarantino words of Greek origin.[a]

Subsequently, the city of Taranto became a Roman city, thus introducing much Vulgar Latin vocabulary.[b]

During the Byzantine and Lombard periods, Tarantino acquired diphthongization: the short o changed to ue and the short e changed to ie; moreover, its vocabulary was further enriched with new words.[c]

With the arrival of the Normans in 1071 and the Angevins all the way through to 1400, the dialect lost much of its Eastern influences and was influenced by the French and Gallo-Italic elements.[d] In 1502, the city went under Catalan-Aragonese rule.

In 1801 the city was once again under the dominion of French troops, who left their mark with their Franco-Provençal language.

Taranto has long been linked to the Kingdom of Naples, which would explain some words in common with the Neapolitan dialect.

Ma ci l'à ddà cundáre le delúre

Inferno – Canto I (Dante Alighieri)

Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita
mi ritrovai per una selva oscura,
ché la diritta via era smarrita.

Ahi quanto a dir qual era è cosa dura
esta selva selvaggia e aspra e forte
che nel pensier rinova la paura!

Tant' è amara che poco è più morte;
ma per trattar del ben ch'i' vi trovai,
dirò de l'altre cose ch'i' v'ho scorte.

Io non so ben ridir com' i' v'intrai,
tant' era pien di sonno a quel punto
che la verace via abbandonai.

Ma poi ch'i' fui al piè d'un colle giunto,
là dove terminava quella valle
che m'avea di paura il cor compunto,

guardai in alto e vidi le sue spalle
vestite già de' raggi del pianeta
che mena dritto altrui per ogne calle...

Canticle of the Sun (Francis of Assisi)

Altissimu, onnipotente bon Signore,
Tue so' le laude, la gloria e l'honore et onne benedictione.

Ad Te solo, Altissimo, se konfano,
et nullu homo ène dignu te mentovare.

Laudato sie, mi' Signore cum tucte le Tue creature,
spetialmente messor lo frate Sole,
lo qual è iorno, et allumeni noi per lui.

Et ellu è bellu e radiante cum grande splendore:
de Te, Altissimo, porta significatione.

Laudato si', mi Signore, per sora Luna e le stelle:
in celu l'ài formate clarite et pretiose et belle.

Laudato si', mi' Signore, per frate Vento
et per aere et nubilo et sereno et onne tempo,
per lo quale, a le Tue creature dài sustentamento.

Laudato si', mi' Signore, per sor Aqua,
la quale è multo utile et humile et pretiosa et casta.

Laudato si', mi Signore, per frate Focu,
per lo quale ennallumini la nocte:
ed ello è bello et iocundo et robustoso et forte.

Laudato si', mi' Signore, per sora nostra matre Terra,
la quale ne sustenta et governa,
et produce diversi fructi con coloriti flori et herba.

Laudato si', mi Signore, per quelli che perdonano per lo Tuo amore
et sostengono infirmitate et tribulatione.

Beati quelli ke 'l sosterranno in pace,
ka da Te, Altissimo, sirano incoronati.

Laudato si' mi Signore, per sora nostra Morte corporale,
da la quale nullu homo vivente po' skappare:
guai a quelli ke morrano ne le peccata mortali;
beati quelli ke trovarà ne le Tue sanctissime voluntati,
ka la morte secunda no 'l farrà male.

Laudate et benedicete mi Signore et rengratiate
e serviateli cum grande humilitate..
