Re: Interesting article about Italian-American pronunciation

That is pretty interesting.

I can't speak Italian but understand some. It is funny how at the end they said people who don't speak Italian still use words like muzzadel. It was how I was taught growing up. Mozzarella (said that way) made you an oddball in my neighborhood lol we always knew who wasn't Italian

Thanks for posting !

Thanks for sharing!

This is how the pronunciation goes for Italian food in my family as well. I cringe when I hear ricotta pronounced phonetically.
