AFAIK, sicilian today has been blended a lot with Italian. The average
sicilian hears Italian on television and writes in italian, not sicilian.
I'm sure most of them have no idea of how Sicilian is written (I have no
idea myself, but that doesn't count). It's not taught in schools, it's
mostly oral tradition.

Cool. How is Sicilian related to Italian and French?

Hi all,
The ISO 639 committee has *just* (literally) approved a code for the
Sicilian language.
Sicilian has over 6 million speakers, and there is good internet
connectivity.
I would like to request that scn: be created for Sicilian.
best,
