I have heard that the Sardinian dialect retained much from Classical Latin!

[@pipa8016]

What's interesting though is that one may actually understand the evolution of Sardinian. By moving slowly from the area around Nuoro to Logudoro, Marghine etc, one can actually hear the changes which become noticeable like the k in front of e and i in Nuoro becomes a light gh at first and then it disappears. So 'fakere' becomes 'faghede' and then 'faere'. Also the 'f' disappears in some villages around Nuoro and it's 'hakere' with the 'h' that is pronounced like the English 'h' or it also sounds Arabic.

[@dangerdan2592]

@@Nicoo_oooo From Wikipedia: "knowledge of how Latin was pronounced comes from Roman grammar books, common misspellings by Romans, transcriptions into other languages, and from studying how pronunciation has changed in Romance languages". I assume the grammar books probably helped quite a bit. I guess that's how they figured out that the "C" in Classical Latin is pronounced the same as the "K" in English.

[@silver6380]

Sort of. Icelandic has preserved the grammar very faithfully, while changing the sounds a lot (especially the vowels). Sardinian is the reverse - it has very different grammar from Latin (very similar to the other Romance languages), but has preserved the sounds very well. Among other distinctions, it's the only Romance language where c and g before i and e are still pronounced as c and g (rather than as s or something else).

That's actually an old point of view which modern romance linguistics doesn't acknowledge anymore. As a counter example at 1:55: "they have taught me" in southern dialects is /m ant impa'rau/ whereas Riccardo said /mi 'ana impa'ratu/, that -nt suffix is more archaic than the -n suffix for the third person plural of regular verbs. One more: Riccardo says /lim'bad:zu/ and /ispet:si'al:e/, whereas southern dialects would have /lin'gwad:3u/ and /spe't:ʃal:i/, which sound more Italian but are also closer to Latin

Following the wrong title of Wikitongues videos, here is speaking Language of Mesania! Not a Sardinian one. A dialect like the Campidanese One. There is not a pure language

[@Wikitongues]

The Mesania and Campidanese dialects are generally understood by linguists-as well as Ethnologue and Glottolog-to be dialects of the Sardinian language. Linguistic classification is never subjective, but we do refer to these sources, as well as the preferences of the people who submit videos, when we title our videos. Ricardo called his video Sardinian. This doesn't imply that he's speaking "pure" Sardinian-linguistic purity is a political concept, not a scientific one-but simply that he is speaking a variety of Sardinian. If you would like to contribute a video of your Sardinian, we would be honored to publish it: wikitongues.org/submit-a-video. And you can see other Sardinian videos here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2HGe4uMq9Rof5Y kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqPCc3ugdsmNhNE

Im no expert but he looks and sounds Italian to me its very different to Greek etc its crazy how so many languages have formed on this earth all i know is were one race with many different ways of learning and doing things in general apart from the evil people l love you all and learning traditional cooking and ways from different parts of our planet 💞

[@fucktugal_.y._fucktalunya]

Absolutely and totally different.

[@azirarbrahim1953]

@Francesco Carìa the accent

[@riccardosebis5333]

Is not ITALIAN PORCA TROIA

[@alextp4563]

He is not sardinian i guess

[@kianoghuz1033]

No, but I've studied well the language, and you can try too. Local young sardinians don't speak Sardinian anymore, it can enter in an endangered state.

[@nrxyomi4761]

Nella mia zona il sardo è diverso,questo è molto simile allo spagnolo

[@ElizaDolittle]

@@kianoghuz1033 I lived in Italy for many years (the Puglia region). At that time, speaking dialect was frowned upon. There was a push to stop speaking them altogether. Now as a historian it upsets me because the Italian dialects are very much a part of history. There must be a way to research them and write about their origins before they die out altogether. That would be a tragedy!

[@riccardosebis5333]

Is influenced by latin....
