Sardinian
Sardinian is an Indo-European
language spoken primarily on the Italian Island of Sardinia. There are
many forms, and the combined usage may be as high as 2,000,000. It is
language of Roman colonists who came to Sardinia early in the Roman epoch and
met pre Indo-European people which spoke a language of unknown origin. As
Sardinia was not invaded by large groups of migrants too often in its history,
the language has preserved a number of features very archaic and dissimilar to
most other Romance languages. The vocabulary uses words very much the same
as classical Latin.
