There are few resources out there.In case anyone is still interested,
I found a big book by Giovanni Vitale called "Dialetto Napoletano. Manuale di scrittura e di dizione" its' a 864 pages long work about neapolitan. It deals with pronunciation and writing, and It also offers tons of real-world and literature examples.

Iandolo, Carlo- " 'A lengua 'e Pulecenella "
A very well done standard grammar book

I don't even support Napoli but I want to visit their home match at San Paolo just to sing O surdato nnamurato together with the whole stadium.

I'd also love to hear Auriemma speaking real Neapolitan...

Hi, some of them are considered languages, others are considered dialects...

All varieties are dialects and languages at the same time. It's not that sometimes you speak "dialect" and other times you speak "language". Speech exists in variation ("dialects", "varieties") that we can try and fit into broader categories ("languages", "dialect groups").

Quote:

As for Neapolitan, it was
recently "upgraded" to the status of language furthermore it is a UNESCO World Heritage
(!).

"Language" isn't a "higher" status than "dialect". A dialect is just a part of a language, no more no less. In that sense, Neapolitan, Italian/Tuscan (whether this includes Corsican and Romanesque or if we put them in separate categories) and Sicilian are all dialects or dialect groupings of the Italo-Dalmation language continuum.
