Sardinian language

There is no single Sardinian language; there are several languages spoken on Sardinia?, among them also Catalan. The modern native languages of Sardinia include the archaic Sardo logudorese, campidanese? that has many Catalan and Spanish words, gallurese? that is characterized by Corsican? influence and tabarchino? with its Ligurian? origins. Old Sardinian had the following consonant phonemes (according to Blasco Ferrer):

/m/

/p/

/b/

/f/

/t/

/d/

/T/ like English TH in <thing>

/r/

/R/ like Spanish <rr>

/n/

/l/

/L/ retroflex

/n'/ palatal [n]

/l/

/g'/ like Hungarian gy

/k/

/g/

It is interesting that /T/ like Castilian /T/ developed from /ts/ and is in some modern Sardinian idioms pronounced as /s/ as in South American and Andalucian Castilian.
