Overview
Influences
Cilentan is a dialect of Sicilian. It has been influenced, especially in the Vallo di Diano and in central Cilento, by the Italian language as spoken in Potenza and part of its Province of Potenza. In the towns of northern Cilento close to the urban area of Salerno (for example Agropoli, Capaccio and Paestum), the language is mainly influenced by Neapolitan, more specifically by the Salernitan dialect.
