Neapolitan language

Neapolitan (autonym: (’o n)napulitano [(o n)napuliˈtɑːnə]; Italian: napoletano) is the language of much of southern continental Italy, including the city of Naples. It is not named after the city but rather the Kingdom of Naples, which once covered most of the area and of which Naples was the capital. On October 14, 2008, a law by the Region of Campania stated that Neapolitan was to be protected. Neapolitan has had a significant influence on the intonation of Rioplatense Spanish, of the Buenos Aires region of Argentina, and the whole of Uruguay.
