Italian Dialects - Central-Meridional
The Central-Meridional dialects consist of four distinct groups.
The Tuscan group occupies an area roughly approximating that of the region of Tuscany.
The Latin-Umbrian-Marchegian dialects are to the south and occupy the northern half of Latium (including Rome), most of Umbria and some of the Marches. These two are also sometimes grouped together as the Central dialects.
The Meridional dialects are directly below with two major types. The Intermediate Meridional dialects occupy the bottom half of the peninsula, including the regions of southern Lazio, Abruzzi, Molise, Campania, Basilicata, and parts of Apulia. The Extreme Meridional dialects occupy the tips of Calabria and Apulia, together with Sicily.
