[2] The exact number of speakers is unknown, but it is highly speculated that the language is mainly spoken by the younger generations, passed on by the elder ancestors, who created the language.

It wasn't until the years after the second diaspora after World War II that the dialect came into note.

The language was simply created with modern Italian words being influenced by the vocabulary of the English language, to create Italian/English words.

[4] Italian linguist Tullio De Mauro has noted the dialect in his famous book 'Storia Della Lingua' as "developing dialect that is still enduring the modern influences of English".

De Mauro also claims the language is growing with the vocabulary being passed onto the younger generations of Italian Australians.
