It has been influenced, especially in the
Vallo di Diano and in central Cilento, by the
Basilicata language as spoken in
Potenza and part of its
Province of Potenza. In the towns of northern Cilento close to the urban area of
Salerno (for example
Agropoli,
Capaccio and
Paestum), the language is mainly influenced by Neapolitan, more specifically by the Salernitan dialect. In the southern corner of Cilento, the language is largely influenced by
Sicilian, particularly the
Calabrian variety of Sicilian. == Phonology ==
