Sicilian is a Romance language spoken by around 4.7 million people in Sicily, southern Calabria, and parts of southern Apulia. Linguistically it's classified as a separate language from Italian, though Italian dominates in administration and education. The US Sicilian-speaking community is small and concentrated in Italian-American communities in New York, New Jersey, and parts of New Orleans (the historic Sicilian-American community there dates to the 19th century). Most translation work from this region is in Italian rather than Sicilian.
