Tarantino (Italian: Dialetto tarantino, Tarantino: Dialètte tarandine), of the southeastern Italian region of Apulia, is a dialect of Southern Italian or Sicilian. Most of the speakers live in the Apulian city of Taranto. The dialect is also spoken by a few Italian immigrants in the United States, especially in California. Tarantino is closely related to Italian and Neapolitan as all three form part of the Italo-Dalmatian language group.
