According to Zenon Pohorecky who wrote Saskatchewan People A Brief Illustrated Guide to their Ethnocultures, there are four seperate Italian dialects spoken in Saskatchewan among those Italians who largely arrived between 1940-1960. In the early 1900s those Italians who arrived settled in Regina or proved up homesteads around Battleford, Prince, Albert, Moose Jaw, Saltcoats, Saskatoon, Humboldt, Kerrobert, or Assiniboia. Those who settled in the Moose Jaw area asked "paesani" or villagers from the Ludlow, Massachusetts district to emigrate north to Canada.1 Early Italian immigrants may have first migrated to Belgium, England, France or America before coming to Canada.
