addinfo = In reality the agencies holding texts, either printed books either
manuscripts, written in Sicilian are in the order of the hundreds, both
inside and outside Sicily. Just in the 9 Archivi di Stato of the nine
Sicilian provinces are held tens of thousands of manuscripts written in
Sicilian.
The estimated number of speakers of Sicilian is around 5000000 of people in
mainland Sicily, and around 3000000 in the rest of the world, and, as
clearly stated from UNESCO, in example, it is not endangered of extinction
by any means, being fluently spoken from young as from old people, with
hundreds of books published every year. There is even a Nobel prize, Luigi
Pirandello, rewarded for his contribution to modern drama, who did
magnificient as much as unknown translations of ancient Greek pieces in
Sicilian. request_addition = ISO 639-2 only 2_code_suggestion =

submit_name = Alessandro Riolo
submit_email = [log in to unmask]
submit_status = Speaker of language. The main reason I am requesting to add
this ISO 639-2 code is the fact that actually is really hard to divide the
Sicilian texts from the Italian ones, even if the libraries are filled with
Sicilian texts, because I can't query for that language (check in example
the Z39.50 gateway to look in the Italian library catalogues at
