Parli Svizzero?
Italian is one of Switzerland's four national languages. But Swiss Italian has its own characteristics and expressions that are unique, astonishing and often quite different from standard Italian spoken in Italy.
Sergio Savoia, Ticinese and radio host, has co-written a book called "Lo Svizzionario" on the particularities of Italian spoken in Switzerland. In today's episode, he takes us on a linguistic journey through the South of Switzerland.
