Sardinian

Sardinian is a Romance language spoken primarily on the island of Sardinia, Italy. It derives from Latin, like other Romance languages such as Italian, Spanish, and French. Sardinian is unique because it has retained many features of Latin that other Romance languages have lost, making it quite distinct. There are several dialects of Sardinian, reflecting the island's diverse history and culture. While Italian is the official language, Sardinian has a rich literary tradition and is an important part of the island's identity, with efforts ongoing to preserve and promote its use among younger generations.
