... Grazie, Carmine, I guess that would also explain why in the South they use voi even in Italian. -- Dale Erwin Av. Circunvalación CEC-2 Urb. Los Girasoles...
This reminds me of another question: Carmine, would you suggest to write those formal pronouns with capitalised initial letter? I'm being taught in Italian...
Hello, usually you find (in Italian) the capitalized forms used in the burocratic and commercial styles. In any other case I think we can safely write those...

Well, no to me :) to me the gl(i) sound is pretty clear. And I guess that is why it is written voglio and not vojo. Perhaps there is an influence of romanesque...
Lucia, vujo definitely is not Neapolitan, even voglio is never pronunced, as far as I know, as vuglio... Maybe you make some confusion with the secon person...
