In Lady and the Tramp does Toni and his cook speak Siculish? I have only heard the version that is dubed into Swedish. In that version they speak really bad Swedish mixed with some Italian. They say things like:

”Någon med mig skämta aprilo.” (”Someone with me joke Aprilaw.”)

”Mama Mia! Hundar börja tala mat...” (”Muma meea! Dogs begin speak food...”)

The quotes in parantheses are tanslated word-by-word, except for the Italian elements which remain untranslated and are spelled phonetically. Yes, they realy speak that bad Swedish! Not to mention their accent... (laugh)

Swedish translation of sicilian's peculiarity is wrong: those sentences are "italianization" and not "sicilization". Example: "Mamma mia" IS NOT Sicilian language, but italian, in Sicilian it would be said "Matri me"

What I wondered was if they speak Siculish in the English original.

[edit] "Sicilianization of American words"

American words? They speak the English language; boss, car, job, etc are all English language words. - Animagentile (talk) 03:50, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
