		The Sardinian language is spoken on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, which lies to the south of Corsica and to the west of Italy.

		This is particularly true of the towns and villages of the provinces of Sassari and Nuoro in the Logudorian dialectal area and of Oristano in the Campidanian dialectal area.

		In April 1859, the Sardinian army, arriving from the La Spezia province, occupied the territories of the Modena Duchy beyond the Apennines, the "Oltreappennino" of Modena, where the post offices of Massa, Carrara, Fivizzano, Aulla, Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, Camporgiano, Gallicano and Fosdinovo were located.
		At the same time the use of the Sardinian postage stamps ceased in the "Oltreappennino" and that of the Ducal postage stamps ceased in the "Cisappennino." Until February 1, 1860, when the Sardinian postage stamps were distributed, the postage stamps of the Provisional issue were the only postage stamps in use.
		Due to the simultaneous use of the 4th Sardinian issue, which never ceased, and due to the limited period of use and to the limited postal traffic, the postage stamps of the provisional issue on postal documents are scarce or very rare, except for the 20 centesimi postage stamp, which is not common.

		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).
