Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Sardinian is a special language spoken on the island of Sardinia, which is one of the 20 regions in Italy. It's a very old language that grew directly from Latin, the language spoken by the ancient Romans. Sardinian is unique because it developed on its own, separate from other languages like French, Spanish, or Italian.

About 1.2 million people in Sardinia speak Sardinian. It's not just one language, but actually a group of different ways of speaking, called dialects. The main dialects of Sardinian are:

  • Campidanese (also called Campidanian)
  • Gallurese (also called Gallurian)
  • Logudorese (also called Logudorian)
  • Sassarese (also called Sassarian)
