		It is however an officially recognized ISO 639 Joint Advisory Committee language with the language code of NAP.

		They then refer to their language as an Italian dialect which is historically problematic as Italian is based on Florentine and it was introduced only after the unification of Italy.
		Alternatively, Neapolitan may indeed be found to be a single language, in which case there is a need for distinctions to be made between the disperate dialects.
		Neapolitan has been written and spoken for centuries and there is wide documentation about it.

		As with oral languages, sign languages are acquired spontaneously and have highly intricate, rule-governed grammar and phonology.
		The widely used manual language of the deaf, or language of signs, was first systematized in the 18th cent.
		Often sign language is taught along with speechreading (see lip reading) and with a manual alphabet, i.e., a method of forming the letters of the alphabet by fixed positions of the fingers in the air.

	Around Naples Encyclopedia 7
		In Naples you are surrounded by the sounds of an ancient, rich, bawdy, colorful language, one of the most interesting tongues still wagging anywhere in Italy and one which to the ears of puzzled newcomers seems to have only peripherally to do with the national language.
		Until the unification of Italy in the last century the Latin "splinter" spoken in Naples was the language of the Kingdom of Naples.
		When Naples became part of the Kingdom of Italy, the language was relegated to being "just" a dialect, because the new official language of united Italy was based, for various literary, historical and political reasons on Tuscan, the central Italian dialect of Dante.

	Language Log: Adam Kendon on the 'chin flick'
		The 'chin flick' as de Jorio described it for Neapolitans in 1832 is still in use today here in the Neapolitan area, and it is used with just the significance that de Jorio ascribes to it: a forceful or reinforced "no".
		The Neapolitans I have asked or have observed don't think so -- the gesture may be done more than once in succession if you are being really very strong in your negation.
		His use of what appears to be a version of the 'chin flick' (as described above) seems a little different from the Neapolitan one -- but then, as I say, in regard to language, as well as gesture, you cannot generalize about "Italians" -- you have to be local.

	HOASM: The Neapolitan Group
		After the return in 1708 from Rome of the Sicilian composer Alessandro Scarlatti, the 17th century maestri were followed by the great Neapolitan composers of the 18th century: notably, Leo, Durante, Vinci, Latilla, Porpora, Jommelli, Sabatino, Traetta, Piccinni, Paisiello, and Cimarosa.
		The great Neapolitan singers were to become scattered throughout Europe and they took with them the music of the maestri.
		And the "sound of the city" was also to be transmitted through the virtuosity of its players, whether of the violin, the cello, the flute or many other instruments.

	Ironstone Neapolitan Mastiffs - The Standard
		When the Neapolitan Mastiff was imported to the States and when various groups of people started their own Neapolitan Mastiff clubs in the US, starting in the early 1970's, these groups wrote up their own standards for the breed.

		If the Neapolitan Mastiff ever becomes recognized by the AKC, which is the only American kennel organization recognized by the rest of the world, then the USNMC standard of the breed should become ubiquitous in the USA.
