Disputatio:Apulia
Apulian dialects do *not* belong with Neapolitan[fontem recensere]
Note a similar discussion on Italian wikipedia. Apparently, wikipedia follows a categorization of these dialects found on Ethnologue. This, however, is not a scientific description. 'lingua napoletana' meant 'language spoken in the Kingdom of Naples'. Given that the Kingdom is defunct, it makes no sense anymore to refer to languages other than Neapolitan as 'Neapolitan'. The scientific terminology is 'Southern Italo-Romance'. Thus, this list is not correct:
- dialectus Bariana, vulgo Barese
- dialectus Fodiana, vulgo Fuggiane
