Many times, Siculish was used to Sicilianize the names of American places among immigrant communities, such as Bensonhurst, New York becoming nicknamed "Bensinosti".

Indeed New York itself became known as Nu Iorca. Forms of Siculish are also to be found in other Sicilian immigrant communities of English-speaking countries, namely Canada and Australia. A surprising similarity can often be found between these forms, through either coincidence, trans-national movements of Sicilian immigrants, or more likely, through the logical adaptation of English using linguistic norms from the Sicilian language.

Some common Siculish terms and an explanation of their derivation not necessarily common to all Anglo-speaking countries: Siculo-Arabic or Sicilian Arabic is the term used for the variety or varieties of Arabic that were spoken in the Emirate of Sicily that included Malta from the 9th century, persisting under the subsequent Norman rule till the 13th century [1]. It was derived from early Maghrebi Arabic following the Abbasid conquest of Sicily in the 9th century, and gradually marginalized following the Norman conquest in the 11th century.

Siculo Arabic is extinct and is designated as a historical language that is attested only in writings from the 9thth centuries in Sicily [2],[3]. However, present-day Maltese is considered to have evolved from one of the dialects of Siculo-Arabic over the past years in a gradual process of Latinisation which gave it a significant Romance superstrate influence [4],[5],[6]. Very little Siculo-Arabic remains in present day Sicilian, which is an Italo-Dalmatian Romance language, its influence being limited to some words [7].
