There are plenty of Sicilian-language websites online, in fact there
are more than there are for Sardinian which is much much much more
different from standard Italian.
As far as how its written, see
http://www.linguasiciliana.org/lsu.htm
(lingua siciliana unificata).
There are more books available in Sicilian than there are in Sardinian
as well, including a few translations of popular literature. Also,
Sicilian is, along with Italian, a co-official language of the
Sicilian autonomous region of Italy.

AFAIK, sicilian today has been blended a lot with Italian. The average
sicilian hears Italian on television and writes in italian, not sicilian.
I'm sure most of them have no idea of how Sicilian is written (I have no
idea myself, but that doesn't count). It's not taught in schools, it's
mostly oral tradition.

Cool. How is Sicilian related to Italian and
French?

Hi all,
The ISO 639 committee has *just* (literally) approved a code for the
Sicilian language.
Sicilian has over 6 million speakers, and there is good internet
connectivity.
I would like to request that scn: be created for Sicilian.
best,
