Barbara Barbagal -- Italian folk song? (19) RE: Barbagal -- Italian folk song? 19 Jul 11


The language is Piedmontese -- here's the Wikipedia link.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piedmontese_language
I ran into a lovely little lady who spoke it in my father's retirement community in East Detroit, Michigan. She showed me a picture of her family home white stucco sided, two stories and a red tile roof nestled up against the foothills. She pronounced the name of the language Pee mon tayseh, hitting the *tayz* part very hard.
n.b. this has also evolved into "Daddy Fox" in England and the US.
Blessings,
Barbara
