Southern Italian ("Dialetti italiani meridionali") is a group of Italo-Western Romance dialects spoken in Southern Lazio, Southern Marche, Abruzzo, Molise, Campania, Basilicata, Apulia, and Northern Calabria. The differences between these dialects are slight, they are closly related to Neapolitan language and all are mutually intelligible with each other. Most of these are Italian dialects affected by a samnite substratum.
