Sanseveresi Dialect
Due to the geographical position of the city, which has allowed direct contact for centuries with dialects of Gargano, northern Puglia, Molise and Campania, the Sanseveresi dialect is overall very close to that of Naples. Its dialect differs from the Foggia dialect or the extraneous dialect of Bari. An example is saying "The dog bites the ragged". In the Foggia dialect it is said as "U chen muccichèjë 'u stracce", while in the San Severo dialect the phrase is said as "U chen mòccëchë 'u straccet".
