Campidanese Dialect
Campidanese Sardinian ( sc, sardu campidanesu, it, sardo campidanese) is one of the two written standards of the Sardinian language, which is often considered one of the most, if not the most conservative of all the Romance languages.

However, it is at this point that the dialects merge into Logudorese. Sub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
