The Sardinian language is a Romance language spoken primarily on the island of Sardinia, Italy. It is considered one of the closest languages to Latin, retaining many archaic features. Sardinian has several dialects, including Campidanese and Logudorese, which can vary significantly in pronunciation and vocabulary. Sardinian is recognized as a minority language and has legal protection in Italy. Efforts to preserve and promote the language include education programs and cultural initiatives. Despite these efforts, the number of native speakers has been declining, making it essential to encourage its use among younger generations.
