	Sardinian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sardinian (Sardu, Saldu) is the main language spoken in the island of Sardinia, Italy, remarkable for being the most conservative of the Romance languages and for its Paleosardinian substratum.
		The recognition of the Sardinian language as a characteristic ethnic element is supported not only by independentist movements, but is also supported by a wide percentage of local population as a whole, as well as the international support of the Sardinian diaspora.
		Sardinians took advantage of this possibility to express their opposition to Fascism by singing the Hymn, as did King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy on several official occasions, when the Crown needed to remind Mussolini of its superior position.

		The Sardinian language is spoken on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, which lies to the south of Corsica and to the west of Italy.
		Sardinian consists in fact of two major dialectal groups, each serving as a koine to one of the two parts of Sardinia: in the north there is the Logudorian dialect, comprising numerous dialectal variants, while in the south there is Campidanian with its far less distinguishable variants.
		The general attitude of speakers to their Sardinian language is that it is slowly declining, that it is constantly losing ground in every sphere of society, that the younger generations use it less frequently than their elders and that it is becoming less and less useful in modern Sardinian society.

		Sardinian (Sardu) is the main language spoken in the island of Sardinia, Italy, and is one of the most conservative Romance languages.
		The basic origins of the Sardinian language (sometimes called Paleosardinian) are still obscure, due mostly to the lack of documents, as Sardinian appeared as a written form only in the Middle Ages.
		As for Sardinian contact with other peoples (here referring mainly to the Iberian peninsula), it has been said that Paleosardinian should be expected to have notable similarities with the Iberian language and the Sicilian language: the suffix -'ara, for example, in proparoxitones (Bertoldi and Terracini proposed it indicated plural forms).

	Sardinian language
		The matter is that Sardinian is a language of Roman colonists who came here early in Roman epoch and met pre-Indo-European population which spoke a language of unknown origin.
		Nowadays Sardinian is spoken together with Italian especially in the central and southern regions of the island, and is considered endangered because the number of its speakers is declining all the time.
		The pronunciation of Sardinian can seem a little bit strange for a Romance language: it uses dd instead of Latin ll in the middle of the word, bb instead of Latin qu, and lots of other changes of initial and middle consonants, some of which are obviously non-Indo-European.

	Activitaly Sardegna -The Sardinian Language
		The Sardinian language, or “Sardo”, is a genuine language (officially recognised by a regional law in 1997 and then on a national level in 1999), even though it is fragmented into numerous dialects, which differ from zone to zone and often even from one town to he next.
		Among the idioms of Latin origin, the Sardinian language is the one which best preserves traits and words from the mother tongue.
		Today there is a strong movement to defend and promote the local language, “sa limba”, and this has led to the diffusion of a cultural bilingualism in the literary sphere, at university, and in public bodies.

		This survey was undertaken by a team of Sardinian speakers in ten sampling points distributed across Sardinia involving the provinces of Sassarese, Nuorese, Monte Ferru, Barbagia, Oristano, Marmilla, Iglesiente, Campidano di Cagliari and the city of Cagliari.
		Indeed one is left with the impression of Sardinian as a language which has a fairly adequate level of familiarity, the basis for language reproduction through the community and the family but which is in retreat.
		The retreat of Sardinian is dramatic, with fewer than 10% of the children using even as much Sardinian as Italian together and three quarters of the children using Italian exclusively together.

		An official language is a language that is specificallydesignated to be so in the constitutions of countries, states, and other territories.
		In fact, even if a language is officially recognized by a state, even if it is taught at schools and evenif it is used in official communication, it doesn't have to be an official language.
		As a consequence of colonialism and/or neocolonialism, in some countries in Africa and in the Philippines the official and learning languages (French or English) are not the national languages or the most widely spoken.

	The Construction of Sardinian Identity
		From the beginning of the 1800s to now, the processes of construction and elaboration of a sense of Sardinian national belonging have engaged the efforts of intellectual elites, which are always intent on the construction and now in the de-construction of a Sardinian identity.
		They want to institute the Sardinian Unified Language, an artificial language created by experts with the capacity to distill it from the different Sardinian languages and dialects now in use (mainly from the Campidanese and Logudorese dialects).
		However, this opens a major debate, given that the opposition to this new unified Sardinian comes from local communities who accuse it of being a “coffee table language” and ask for the recognition of their linguistic dignity in all its multiple variants.

		The experiences that were true for "state" languages (whose success was due, among other reasons, to standardisation) cannot be applied to all languages.

		The religious linguistic references are not at all casual; on the contrary, they are intended to underscore, right from the start, the origin and strictly religious nature of the first literary manifestations in the island, subjected, as is well known, to recurrent foreign dominations for two thousand years, a considerable time span.
		On the other hand, the awareness of speaking one's own autonomous language has certainly not favored that process of osmosis, of continual exchange between language and dialect and between dialect and language which has taken place in many parts of Italy, to the mutual enrichment of both.
