So excited to hear you are writing this novel (series???). LOVED the Wilderness series which I found out about on Diana’s website after reading the Outlander series for the 10th time! This is the only series that can hold a candle to her books. Love the history & following characters through life. Can’t wait!!!!

last one:
CastelFranco Emilia (near Bologna… it’s always Emilia-Romagna but there are a lot of different dialects in Emilia) ‘parché t’è mazé tu muier’

Thanks to my friends in FB that helped me in helping you
“In bocca al lupo” with your book

This is Sardinian (The Campidanese variant of the language spoken in Sardinia, Italy)

“Poitta asi boccìu a pobìdda tua?”

“pobìdda” can be also changed in “mullèri”

This is so helpful, and I can’t even tell you why. But you will find out. I promise.

hello
in romanesco (the dialect of Rome) is “oh, ma perché hai accoppato tu moje?” (this is “romanesco” but not “romanaccio”, the difference is the society level… romanesco is higher level than romanaccio)
I’m asking to my FB contacts for other italian dialects

The more colloquial the better. Thank you.

French-speakers use dislocations a lot.

‘Pourquoi tu l’as tuée, ta femme?’ and
‘Pourquoi tu l’as butée, ta meuf?’

would be more colloquial, in my opinion.

Thank you for your support, Lara. I thought you could get digital editions of the Wilderness books down under, but I may be wrong. I’ll check with my agent.
