While I was on the flight headed from Dubai to Melbourne, a mysterious trio of characters has fueled my doubts language.
In practice it was a couples after a small child, probably born less than a year, and a plump old lady whose role has been surely to be the mother of one of the spouses. The man seemed physically
a mixture of an Italian and a North African, but his wife, in "meat" too, had eyes and hair blacks.
In practice during the flight this trio has not done is an incredible exchange with code-switching and code-mixing (mixing and then alternating between different languages) phrases in Italian, English, a dialect of southern extreme, and apparently speaking Arabic!
The shocking thing was seeing the old lady to speak in dialect and see the other two respond in Arabic apparent, however, surprised even the great skill with which all three (even the old South) practiced English with the hostesses on board.
Now among the thousands of cases, the most plausible seems to me that that was the old chubby married an American general came to liberate Sicily in '43, then for the sake of this man she has agreed to moved to Malta where he also speaks English. daughter understand why the Italian spoken in the family by her mother, and her husband actually belongs to the second generation of Tunisian migrants in Malta and then to his wife taught their language of origin, and the old lady to snoop a bit 'as does any good mother-in-law decided to learn even the daring code, or the mysterious Arabic language is nothing but the famous Maltese! (For which we will then seek advice from the / our / friend or / or Ferr / Fern-ando).
The other hypothesis provides instead of the chubby old lady was born in Africa of Italian parents in any colony, and only later it ended up in Malta after being expelled from his native soil and rejected by the beautiful country.
And look what effect it nostalgia that makes this picture ... obviously not for the colonies, but for Iraq saying "Iraq" and called Iran "Persia" ... rilfettere which makes a lot, think back to that image would have today if Iran was still called Persia ... everyone seems to jump nell'Aladdin of Walt Disney! only to discover that it is more like a millennium ago! ahah
And since we're on the subject of magic lamps, how not to mention the cover of "The world is mine" made by Gigi D'alessio and Anna (the friend of all our ") Tatangelo. Do not post the link for this blog not to get, at most you will find it posted in the bulletin of some lucky friend on facebook: D
Also note not to look old Anna "the friend of all our" Tatangelo, I had never seen this style on her "girl Scampia.
