== Sopranos characters' pronunciations == |
|||
I just want to point out, spuiatell is not a Sicilian pronunciation. Sicilians do not pronounce LL (it becomes DD). And the Sopranos were mostly Neapolitan (Southern Italian) and not Sicilian. Only a few of the characters (Phil Leotardo, Carmela's mother) were Sicilian. Most of the Italian-American slang and other expressions used in Sopranos are based on [[Neapolitan language|Neapolitan]] and '''''not''''' [[Sicilian language|Sicilian]]. Therefore, I'm going to remove the alleged Sicilian pronunciation of Pauly Walnuts. He wasn't even Sicilian on the show, he's Neapolitan-American like most of the rest of them. |

Sfogliatelle
Actually "foglia" means leaves/layers. An "s" at the beginning of an Italian word negates it. Therefore sfogliatelle means without layers. A Napoleon is layered. Sfogliatelle is(are) dense.
Please clearify! if the filling is made of fresh citron or citron Succade. Also since it is an Italian food, if the variety used for this purpose is the Diamante citron variety? CitricAsset (talk) 19:29, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Sopranos characters' pronunciations
I just want to point out, spuiatell is not a Sicilian pronunciation. Sicilians do not pronounce LL (it becomes DD). And the Sopranos were mostly Neapolitan (Southern Italian) and not Sicilian. Only a few of the characters (Phil Leotardo, Carmela's mother) were Sicilian. Most of the Italian-American slang and other expressions used in Sopranos are based on Neapolitan and not Sicilian. Therefore, I'm going to remove the alleged Sicilian pronunciation of Pauly Walnuts. He wasn't even Sicilian on the show, he's Neapolitan-American like most of the rest of them.
