la squadra and languages 🗣️

because i fucking love linguistics bro!!!!!!

to preface they are all fluent in italian and probably have varying levels of english ranging from like, bits and pieces to fluent

risotto ✂️

sicilian (fluent), egyptian arabic (conversational)

sicilian is his first language. was more affluent with arabic when he was younger but fell out of use

slight sicilian lean to his italian

prosciutto 🚬

conversational or basics of a lot: yiddish, yevanic, turkish

very multilingual house growing up lol

pretty damn good with liturgical hebrew for torah

his family was from all over the place so no one can pin down his dialect

pesci 🎣

same as prosciutto cause they grew up together lol

but he hasn't really brushed up on liturgical hebrew since his bar mitzvah

again hard to pin his dialect but sounds a bit more northern than pros

formaggio 🧀

brazilian portuguese (basic)

very prominent neapolitan dialect

illuso ✨

kyrgyz (fluent or near-fluent), tigrigna (basic), russian (intermediate)

he Supposes he would consider kyrgyz to be his first language but again, pretty multilingual household and social sphere

dialect leans neapolitan

melone 🍈

javanese (intermediate), german (intermediate), korean (basic)

very northern dialect

ghiaccio ❄️

malay (fluent), hokkien (fluent), cantonese (intermediate)

linguistic bde because he's fluent in the most opposite language groups in the world (english and chinese)

remembers some italki hebrew from his bar mitzvah and can still read the alphabet but that's it

very prominent venetian dialect (which is really judeo-venetian but apparently the jewish sub-dialects are more subtle by nature)

gelato 🔪🍦

belarusian (near-fluent), russian (near-fluent)

belarusian is his first language but often mishmashed it with russian, has gotten a bit rusty over the years with both

probably has some sort of mild accent in italian that has most people pegging him (lol) as balkan

sorbet 🔪🍦

maltese (intermediate), levantine arabic (basic), french (conversational)

maltese is his first language and he spoke some arabic at home as well but both have diminished quite a bit from lack of use

not much of an accent in italian actually
