Siculish is a Latin - Germanic American language formed by the blend (at different degrees) of Sicilian and English, in the speech of people who speak parts of two languages, or whose normal language is different from that of the country where they live. Despite its widespread use among the population, Siculish is not an actual language. Linguists commonly refer to a phenomenon like Siculish as a pidgin, which is a language based on a simplified syntax and grammar that acts as an intermediary between people who dont have a common language. Con il termine siculish si intendono i fenomeni di interazione tra il siciliano e la lingua inglese da parte di coloro che parlano siciliano negli USA. Il termine è stato coniato sul modello proposto dal linguista portoricano Salvador Tió negli anni 40 sul fenomeno analogo dello spanglish. Altro termine designato per far riferimento allo stesso è lormai noto brucculinu.
