Hi there. First of all, there is more than one dialect in Apulia; and the southern one (dialetto salentino) belongs to the same family of Sicilian. So you should have clear which dialect you're more interested into. I suppose you already know the following sites: here I found a miscellanea of proverbs and stories http://www.dialettando.com/regioni/puglia.lasso - here's a Dictionary https://pulcinella291.forumfree.it/?t=53634683 - other proverbs → http://www.italiadonna.it/public/percorsi/02014/pugliap.htm → https://it.wikiquote.org/wiki/Discussione:Proverbi_baresi However, you're lucky because Apulian dialects have a noticeable success in Cabaret (starting from actor Lino Banfi in the 70s -- who also recently made a movie about being "an apulian immigrant in Germany") ; so if you prefer to open Bing Video and key-search about , eg : Zelig, pugliese -- or : dialetto, barese, foggiano, tarantino -- you'll find such a quantity of videos. Perhaps the most peculiar aspect of north-central apulian dialects is vowels : that might be because it was influenced by nordic (germanic-french) peoples, and especially Barese dialect twists vowels as they were made with clay, which make Apulian dialects generally "funny" -- opposite to Neapolitan , which is associated (especially thanks to the movie "Gomorra") to gore crime -- and instead has a long tradition literature (so here you'd find English material!) My grandma said that Apulian dialects are "a wrong italian" -- this means that in any case there still is a mutual intelligibility with Italian; while Gomorra has been presented with subtitles as it is impossible, a movie like "La Capa Gira" (which, of course, is funny) is a bit more clear. Byjje!
