- Sardinian language or Sard (limba sarda or lìngua sarda) is a Romance language spoken by the Sardinians on the Western Mediterranean island of Sardinia. The most widely spoken language in Sardinia may be Italian, but the Sardinian language (Sardo) is still widely spoken among locals. Some linguists consider it to be the language that is closest to Latin.
Can Italian, French, and Spanish speakers understand the Sardinian language? We've made this video so you can find out for yourself! 🤓Let us know what you think in the comment section!

I saw another one of these with a French speaker from Paris...he too had a very hard time. French has diverged widely from the other Romance languages.
ahahahahahaahahahahahah

Italians don't understand Sardinian, safe the "cagliaritano" than it's italianized.. Moreless
As a French person, i understand 90% of what the man from Quebec is saying.
😂😂😂😂 good for you
Hahahha
Wait till he meets up with his "chums", haha !
😂
That's a different challenge. But if it was happening you'd be doing great
I'm italian, i understand latin, spanish, portughese, rumenian but damn sardinian is hard...
io sono del nord Sardegna e capivo piu lo spagnolo che il cagliaritano 😅
Sounds like romanian and catalan, sometimes also portuguese.

Non così duro quanto sembra, in realtà. E' l'arcaismo di alcuni sostantivi che non trovano corrispondenza nelle altre parlate italiche lo scoglio da superare, ma una volta memorizzati si va lisci. Io sono campano è ho vissuto per 5 anni tra Sulcis e basso Campidano, e posso dire di averci messo di più a capire il barese stretto che il sardo della variante sud occidentale. La cosa che ho notato è che i sardi anche dei livelli di scolarizzazione più bassi, al di là della cadenza, si esprimono molto meglio in italiano di quanto facciano molti abitanti del Mezzogiorno.
I'm Sardinian and I feel lucky beacuse I can understand everything, Spanish and French as well. Well done everyone, this channel is absolutely beautiful.
Me too, as Sardinian I can speak italian, sardinian, english and I can easly understand Spanish and French!
@@fabioesini9092 And portuguese too! Portuguese, especially the brazilian one is pretty similar to spanish (i’m just deducting by your afirmations haha)
@@luanb2108 I dont know ahah I should try even Portuguese
I'm from portugal and I live in mexico.
So I can speak spanish and portuguese fluently.
And in my opinion french is actually easier to understand than italian (at least when it's spoken).
And I also speak engish and german fluently( I lived in Germany for ten years).
But french, italian and spanish from spain are a bit hard to understand because they speak so fast. I like it how the mexicans do it, nice and slow.
Is funny how the italian and hispanic can talk togetter and the french is loster than a cow in the antartica

He is Canadian. His language and accent are very influenced by USA. Yes it's french but different from European french spoken in France, Belgium, Switzerland..
The difference between Sardinian and Italian appears more obvious than between Spanish and Catalan.
Sardinian split off from the other romance languages much earlier so it still has very archaic vocabulary and phonology
I understand it pretty well as an italian. Maybe because i know my regional dialect(ligurian/genoese)
Treee Agario YT Ligurian is not a dialect. Ligurian is a different language from Italian. And even they are member of different branchs in Romance languages
@@Kurdedunaysiri i know man. We call it dialect because in the last 200 years the language got forgotten and nobody knows it anymore except the old and who like me likes it(still i speak an heavily tuscanized version). Anyways i have no difficulties in understanding other italic "dialects" in the peninsula
Catalan is further from Latin
It's interesting to see how Sardinian shares more similarities with Spanish than Italian in phrases like "teneis pregontas?"
Yes, because Sardinia was part of Spain
@Donlimonesio Yt Ah por supuesto, se me olvidó! Viva Aragón 😅
@@donlimonesioyt9644 and isn't Sardinia part of Italy now (and historically under "Italian" influence), anyway?
Edit: GUYS, I know the whole history and I know it's part of Italy now.
But if Sardinia being part of Spain means Sardinian is closer to Spanish, wouldn't it being part of Italy mean it's close to Italian as well? I don't think so. That's what my comment meant.
@@alexone8338 Sardinia is a part of Italy now. And it was a part of Spain
It’s really funny, when I was in Sardinia, some people from the other side of the Island thought I spoke Sardinian... because of the similarities to Brazilian Portuguese.
Sono sarda e ovviamente ho capito tutto.
L'unica cosa è che io molte parole le pronunciò diversamente oppure nel utilizzo altre. E anch'io sono della stessa città e parlo sardo campidanese.

You’re not kidding.
Oof yes
As an Italian and Spanish I confirm
As a french I find this easier XD
As a Sardinian it was difficult for me too to guess and understand what he was saying because it's not taught in school, you only learn it "by ear"if it makes any sense... just like when you learn your first language. You learn it when your grandparents speaks it because adults don't speak it often and only elders are properly fluent; So if you come you will probably ear a Sardinian mix italian words with Sardinian words but it's pretty difficult to find a young or even an adult person speaking it fluently, in fact as Marco says he took a course to learn it . Of course I speak from my personal experience and from the area of Sardinia where I live (Cagliari) and I'm not speaking for all Sardinians.
@Riccardo Pibiri da ogliastrino confermo, e ho capito quello che hai scritto ma non saprei risponderti bene in sardo :(... hai provato in qualche paesino del centro verso nuoro?
@No One thats because all Italian regions have the same school system, so every italian kid learn the same things... we only study english as an "extra" language, a rarely spanish or french in the mid-school
Dipende da dove vivi
Da me lo parlano tutti, pure i bambini
Io purtroppo avendo madre non sarda, i miei non lo parlano a casa e perciò non lo so parlare fluentemente, però già lo capisco perché lo sento ogni giorno anche a scuola
So sad

"Mata" is widely used in Mexican Spanish as equivalent of a little tree. The reason why Sardinians have this word is because Sardinia was part of the Spanish kings dominions for nearly 200 hundred years. As someone mentioned before, the origin of this word is "MATTA" in latin, which means a mat made by little trees (the same meaning in Spanish). It is the origin of English mat and mattress, by the way.
Mata is spanish for bush. Spanish not mexican spanish. Mexicans dont speak mexican. They speak spanish like every spanish speaking country. With variations in dialect. Dialect is a form of a language being spanish, which is peculiar to region or social group. Its still spanish.
@@michaelbollinger8060 Yeah bud, surely an arrogant gringo is entitled to try to teach me about my own language. Just to clarify, a bush is "arbusto", and mata is a little tree.
Carlos Wagner gringo? Lmao try a cuban, there are plenty of cuban’s with german names. How about you open a dictionary because mata literally means bush you idiot. Arbusto also means bush. If you were so knowledgable in our language you’d know it depends on context.
Carlos Wagner again i gave you definition of dialect. Your suppose be a latino you’re saying speaking in “mexican” lmao its all spanish you illiterate door knob
@@michaelbollinger8060 Right. So you are supposed to be an authority in language, but you call me "illiterate door knob" while you can't distinguish between You are and your. If you want to discuss the definition of dialect, we can start with Chambers and Trudgill (1998), and we can discuss how different dialects acquire different nuances of the meaning of words. Or even more, we can discuss your lack of reading comprehension because nobody said that I speak "Mexican", but "Mexican Spanish" and I was just putting in context my own definition of that word, without implying anything about other dialects. I assume that continue this discussion with your use of 13-year old insults and arguments "IKNOWEVERYTHING" would just make me a troll and an asshole like you, so yeah, you are the ultimate master of the Spanish language. Congrats, champ.

The French word for fox ("renard") famously comes from the popularity of the Germanic medieval literary cycle Reynard the Fox. The previous word was "goupil" which apparently shares latin roots with "volpe".
I'd comment in French but you know, nobody understands what we say.
Interesting. In latin, the word for fox is "vulpes". But in galician de "v" also evolved to "g", and the galician word for fox is "golpe". It seems to me that that "goupil" comes from a diminutive in vulgar latin, as it happens with "soleil". But French shares with Spanish some tendency to avoid latin names to speak about animals traditionally considered "vermin". You say renard, but we say "zorro", which doesnt come from Latin either. You say "velette" and we say "comadreja" instead of something coming from "mustela". And, of course, to name the magpie, we dont use "pica" any more, but a woman's name: "urraca".
THANKS ! I'm french and you taught me something!
we understand if you WRITE. we dont understand if you emit barbaric vowel sounds while speaking! XD

I am Italian ( from Rome) and for me it is beautiful because I can understand Sardinian, Spanish, French and Portuguese and other languages without any difficulty thanks to my knowledge of Latin and ancient Greek but above all thanks to the knowledge of various Italian dialects that are a well of words taken from all the populations passed through the Italian peninsula in the various millennia and this makes us understand how much the borders are only fictions made of ink on our maps and how much the peoples are related to each other. I thank this channel and all the participants for creating this content which for an archaeologist and language lover like me turns out to be gold
Great comment!!
Actually sardinian it is not an Italian dialects
@@claudiosechi9765
Sardinian and Italian have more in common than Standard Arabic and the the Moroccan "dialect" of Arabic, yet it is not a dialect? It's funny because the Arabic speakers insist no matter how geographically and linguistically diverse the countries are that it is still one language, yet Italy considers the dialects of it's singular small country to be "languages".
This seems like a flex to me, but hey good for you mate
italian LANGUAGES.
This language is so different I think it’s closer to Latin than Italian 😂
It is, due the isolation the language has not much influence of others languages
it is!
It has Arabic influence just like Spanish did. So it's closer to Old Spanish / Portuguese.
Truthfully, I cannot think of a Romance language closer to Latin than Sardinian
Sardinian is the FIRST Language closer to latin, then Italian, Spanish and others... the influences are Catalan spanish french Ligurian Toscan greeks of course and many more..
I lived in sardinia and hearing this beautiful language brought back many good memories. 😁
Good!

Poor Canadian guy. He was really lost. Linda and Isidro were able to understand Sardinian, Canadian guy didn’t understand at all though.
Sardinian language is pretty hard to understand, maybe it is due to how Sardinian is pronounced.
I love how Linda and Isidro understand each other without problems.
😂✌️
Vommir you were great 😊
That’s because French has more of a mix of tribal languages than Italian and Spanish. This the comprehension…they claim to also have Iberian origins too.
Totally agree. Because written Sardinian is quite easy to understand for a Spaniard and an Italian, but spoken Sardinian is not so easy to understand.
If only french sticked to old french im sure..they can understand spanish and italianm
Isidor understands EVERYTHING
As an italian from Verona I understood:
Sardo 0%

Gran vídeo.
Yo soy mexicana y desde hace cinco años vivo en la bella Sardegna.

Nah, not quite, it's not exactly impossible to understand for an Italian. Isidor also seemed to catch something. Only Mark appeared to be completely lost

I understood probably 20% of it, but the other speakers helped big time in my attempt to guess each of the words
Spanish speaker said sardinian. He doesn't know its name: in spanish, sardo.
I'm sardinian speaker but this guy speak is territorial variant very bad...for me...
Il sardo, una lingua affascinante. Rinnovo i miei complimenti, questo canale è sorprendente! Una grande idea, quella di mettere a confronto le lingue. Un lavoro encomiabile! Bravo!
Il ragazzo però non sta parlando il "sardo" ma una variante chiamata "campidanese" che assomiglia al Sardo ma non è la lingua Sarda. Il campidanese viene parlato a Cagliari e nella pianura del campidano, il Sardo invece è parlato nell'entro terra sardo nella Barbagia e i paesi limitrofi alle province che si trovano sulla costa.
@@LadyElettra corretto in parte.. Nell'entroterra ossia nel nuorese si parla in "limba" (sardo logudorese) che sarebbe quello più antico... Ma se sali più a nord quindi a Sassari.. Si parla un altro dialetto molto diverso.. Quasi incomprensibile ai cagliaritani..
@@LadyElettra Il sardo campidanese e il sardo logudorese sono due varianti equivalenti. Sono entrambe sardo ed entrambe lingue e non dialetti.
Basta guardare la categorizzazione linguistica del gruppo insulare.
@@roby7412 Il gallulese ed il sassarese non sono sardo. Sono lingue Tosco-corse e vicine all'italiano e non al sardo.
@@LadyElettra non è così. La lingua Sarda viene definita tale in senso lato. Essa racchiude due grandi lingue in verità,quella Campidanese ,la più parlata è del sud dell'isola. Il Logudorese invece è parlato al nord . Quindi due grandi matrici linguistiche,con le varianti dell'entroterra barbaricino ed ogliastrino.I sassaresi parlano il turritano ,che nel tempo ha rilasciato nell'interland ,un modo di pronunciare le parole ,tipico di quella zona.
A herança latina é maravilhosa! Fico surpreso com a quantidade de línguas que se desenvolveram do latim e principalmente por conseguir entender a maior parte delas com pouquíssimo esforço. Saudações do Brasil!
I'm Romanian, and I understood almost everything he was saying. I think it helps that we have "a păpa" as another word for "to eat" (just as he used papai) or "pitic" (little person) similar to his "piddichedu".
As a Portuguese speaker, I can understand him very well.
I understand him better than the French speaker.

I would love to see on this channel a conversation between Marco and Scorpio Martianus. Then we'll actually be able to decide if sardinian is as close to latin as linguists say!
@ecolinguist Norbert, please make this happen!!!
Yessss this would be sooo interesting
I think we need to bring in a variety of Sardinian that still pronounces words like “centum” with a /k/ though, this speaker does palatalization
As a Latinist I understood hardly any of this. Although he was not speaking in the dialect of Sardu which is said to be similar to Latin (Nuorese).
We need to compare Sardinian, Latin, and Romanian.

In Spanish there's also the word JĺCARA, but it refers more to a container than to a cup.
I just discovered this tonight and I have to say, it was absolutely fascinating to hear a Sardinian, a Quebecer, a Mexican, and an Italian speaking to each other. I speak reasonably fluent Italian, some French, and can read Spanish, so this was easy to follow. Sardinian....wow! What a language! Thank you so much for posting this!
There is a joke in Mexico, one worker tells another, get into the truck, get the "Gallinas" (chickens) out and "las matas" (the plants), and the guy killed all the chickens, because in Spanish "las matas" means plants but also kill them.
Took me a while to get it and I’m Mexican 😂 for those who still don’t get it, just like he said “las matas” is plants ofc but to say kill is “matar” which you could see the similarities what it’d be for them is “agar las gallinas y las matas” or ofc “get the hens and kill them” which is what the worker understood, also the “La” is used for basically for a female in Spanish and “El” is for male, don’t know why you’d need to know that part lol
Saca las gallinas y las matas.
👀👀👀
@@CobraKaiNoMercy Yes is correct! in my country we use the same word to mean tree so if it's no expecified you could end up killing someone hahahaha! "y las matas- And you Kill them (Tree or plant but plant could be a Generator too)"
Fun fact: in Spanish "las matas" means the plants, in Sardinian "sa mata" means the plant!
Por que ambas son palabras homógrafas y homófonas,se escriben igual y se pronuncian igual pero tienen diferente significado.,una es un sustantivo sinónimo de planta,mientras que la otra es flexión del verbo matar.

In Hispanic america we say the word "mata" for small plants such a flower something like that or a small tree that is growing but not for big trees..
I'm italian (from Rome), but I understand spanish, portuguese and french better than sardo. Spanish is mostly very easy to understand, as are some portuguese dialects from Brazil. However, I struggle with the language as spoken in Portugal. I grew up in countries where French was spoken, so I guess I got French for free.
Portuguese from Portugal it's hard
I was completely lost in this one, but seeing that all 3 "pros" were lost as well I feel less bad about myself :) Great video as always
hahaha I'm glad to know that 😂
I'm Italian and this was pretty much the first time I've ever heard someone speak Sardinian for an extended amount of time. It wasn't easy, it really wasn't, but I could understand the general meaning of most sentences, so I could guess all the 5 words
Bro ti parlo in italiano, questo non è il sardo che tutti palesano per essere "il più vicino a livello lessicale e grammaticale al latino" questa è la subvariante campidanese che io stesso trovo terrificante...aspetto un video da Norbert con il logudorese...QUELLO è il vero sardo.

I really can’t understand Sardinian.
Every time I hear Portuguese and Italian, I have no trouble communicating, I understand everything (I speak Mexican Spanish), but Sardinian seems so different.
Which variation of portuguese do you udnerstand the most? PT-BR or PT-EU?
Levi Lima Brazilian, the European variation is quite a curious case, cause most vowels aren’t pronounced.
@@taintedtaylor2586 Yeah, it sounds more like French, I persdonally like this pronounciation of European Portuguese! :)
@@roatskm2337 I like the sound of European Portuguese as well. It sounds slavic-like and I like that.
@@kijul468 Yeah indeed! :D
Sardinian is trully fascinanting. Very unintelligible to me (portuguese speaker), at the same level as Romanian. I took a 3 month course in Sardinian, and I loved it. Sardinian is very different from Italian. It's more close to Portuguese and Spanish. It retains many old Latin words, and has many pre-roman words. Some say that the language of Sardinia before Latin was related to Basque. Sardinian also has initial consonant mutations, just like the Celtic languages. Between vowels, even across word boundaries, all consoants become voiced: p>b, t>d, k>g, c>x, ... The letter X has the sound of Portuguese or French J. The infinitives end in ai, and the past participle in -au (a bit like Spanish dialects, escuchao, marcao, etc. where the -d gets deleted).
It's true there is a linkage between Basque and Sardinian, I think a demonstrated genetical linkage. Sardinian are also linked to the Dolmen culture: in Sardinia you could find local 'stonhenges' as in England and North Western - France.
@@robertoperuzzi6121 the Sardinian spoken here is very Italian .. I am from the hinterland of northern Sardinia, and I speak Logudorese, much more fascinating.

I'm Venezuelan, and here "mata" means "plant" (like, every kind of plant is a "mata")
the first thing came to my mind was "Mata e' mango" that means mango tree
In portuguese we say something really similar: mato. Mato is any kind of plant and grass.
En Panamá una mata es como una planta. Usualmente no tiene tronco (al menos no tan ancho y alto como un árbol). Casi siempre la "mata" va a ser menos alta que tú. Si es más alta ya es un "palo de....", que lo más similar es árbol. No sé si se entiende XD.
@@Mrktn4 sí se entiende, no te preocupes ;D
@@lex3658 E “mata” pode ser usada no lugar de floresta também.
It's the first time I heard Sardinian for an extended amount of time. As an Italian it was difficult to understand and I got lost a few times, although I could guess the words thanks to scattered understandable words and fragments here and there. Great video!
A volte neanche i sardi si capiscono tra loro.....c'è molta differenza di pronuncia tra per esempio la Barbagia e l'Ogliastra.
Chi il sardo lo parla bene capisce bene sia il logudorese che il campidanese. Ovviamente, se l'altro non vuole farsi capire e usa termini molto locali è un'altra cosa.
@@andriapiciau Insomma... Se prendi un sardofono che non ha mai conosciuto parlate fuori dalla sua zona e lo metti in qualche Paese della Barbagia di Ollollai... riesce a farsi capire e capire ma perderà una parte importante del discorso. Diverse parole, pronuncie. Tra su matessi (El mateix catalano) e "su propriu" c'è un abisso. Ed è solo un esempio
@@giulianorivieri2806 è vero anche quello, ma è la stessa cosa se prendi una persona che non è mai uscita dal circondario di Napoli e la teletrasporti a Milano, o se prendi una persona mai uscita da Milano e la porti a Bergamo (per la scienza, milanese e bergamasco sono dialetti diversi della lingua lombarda). Inoltre, la scuola e la TV aiutano tantissimo a familiarizzare i ragazzi con parlate differenti dell'Italiano. Anche per il Sardo c'è una certa differenza tra il quello parlato in casa (spesso gergale) e la lingua usata in letteratura (poeti, cantadoris, drammaturghi) che è una lingua fatta per essere capita in posti diversi. Purtroppo non si studia lingua e letteratura sarda a scuola, altrimenti si avrebbe una percezione differente di quanto il Sardo valga come strumento di comunicazione.
A chi è interessato, consiglio "Il Sardo Standard" per approfondire la lingua e la grammatica e il canale ejatv per fare pratica di ascolto. In questo canale ci sono spesso persone che parlano logudorese e persone che parlano campidanese che conversano senza problemi.
La realtà generalmente parlando è che tutti più o meno in Sardegna si sentono vicini al sardo (variamente inteso) ma in pratica per una buona metà dei sardi è una lingua straniera. Sfido Marco a parlare in tale modo con qualsiasi sardo ed essere compreso se non con molta difficoltà. Se dovesse andare nel centro-nord Sardegna si troverebbe in certi contesti (diversi paesi dell'interno) paradossalmente favorito per la maggior diffusione del sardo ma la sua parlata verrebbe definita non come 'lingua sarda'ma come 'campidanese'. In pratica un'altra lingua ancora. Come se ci si trovasse di fronte un gallurese che parla il suo dialetto simile al corso.
In parole povere, il sardo viene usato in contesti non famigliari solo in certi ambiti locali. Al di fuori di tale contesto locale, anche chi sa parlare in sardo usa abitualmente l'italiano.
Man you have all my respect and admiration for showing that. Uwiebiam to wideo. Greetings from a Sardinian in Prague! :)

"mata", there is in portuguese too! We use the word "mata" to say a little forest . To say the plant we use the word "mato"
"Mata" comes from the latin "matta" = stuoia, in italian. "Mat" in english. Don't call me why.

"Matorral" in spanish but we use "mata" too in the sense if "a set of plants"
mato is to kill
@@EgoJinpachi_ mato conjugated in the first person, Eu mato, I Kill, from the verb Matar..
I've watched several of these videos, and the reason they work so well is, obviously, many of the word roots are the same, but the moderator mixes in hand gestures and signs when he is describing the words. That's what facilitates the immediate success of it. And, the way we all learn a new language in an "immersion" setting is that same combination (it just would obviously take much longer).
interesting fact.
in greek Friday has also a shabbat related etymology.
Paraskevi - Παρασκευή( as said friday in greek) means ''preparative''.
as if the day of preparation for the upcoming day Sabbath-Σάββατο.

we call the fox Maritsa,(almost the female analogy to Mariano!) in folklore, not in everyday talk etc.
English: “Put three loaves in bread in the bag for me”
Latin "Pone mihi tres panes in bertula"
Sardinian: Ponemi tres panes in bertula"
Spanish: "Ponme tres panes en la bolsa. Or "Pon tres panes para mi en la bolsa"
Il Sardo è la lingua più prossima al latino.

No romance language is close enough to latin. It depends on the aspect you consider
@@kevindasilvagoncalves468 , Spanish is as widespread across the globe as Latin once was. Spanish (Castilian Spanish in particular) maintains the masculine enunciation lost in other Romance languages. Spanish also retains the clear and crisp phonetics of A,E,I,O,U. And the verb conjugation is very similar. Spanish has a few classical words (mesa, silla, arena, queso, nomas).
Sardinian is so close to Portuguese. I understood quite a lot of what he said and guessed all the words... Please include a Portuguese speaker from Portugal next time!!
Quite a number of words sounded like Portuguese or Romanian, despite generally sounding like Italian.
Actually Sardinian is quite far from all other Romance languages. It's the last member of its family (the other was Old Corsican but that language is extinct - it was completely different from modern Corsican). It evolved directly from Latin but in a completely different way compared to Italian, French, Portuguese or Romanian.
Per forza leggevi.. prova ad ascoltare un sardo mentre conversa e non scandisce le parole
Sardinian doesn’t seem Portuguese!!! The dialect of this guy gives to you this impression, because his pronunce doesn’t tollerate o and e in the last syllable. But variety of Center Nord of the Island and the standard recognized presents this sounds in every syllable.
@@italixgaming915 I didn't know that and I love the Sardinian way! It's very very beautiful. Where can i get more informations about the evolution/creztion of Sardinian?

Io sono sarda, proprio cagliaritana! È stato molto piacevole!
Loved the exercise!
The word for cup in Sardinian 'tzìcara' and its equivalents in Spanish (jícara), Portuguese (xícara) and Catalan (xicra), are derived from the Nahuatl language 'xicalli'.
en el norte de la Cerdeña es Cicara. como Chicago
It's "cìcara" (pronounced as you would pronounce "chicara" in Spanish) in Venetian as well
@@buonalaminestrina dai!!vivo a Venezia sposata a un veneziano che ha fatto 10 anni di Florian come cameriere e non lo sapevo!!!
comunque in italiano sarebbe " chicchera" ma è arcaico, nel senso che l' ho sempre sentito a mia nonna e a mia mamma, in italiano, specifico. Se parliamo in sardo allora è cicara per tutti. Più usata chicchera per il servizio buono di porcellana, roba da sfoggiare insomma.Lezioso, in definitiva.

Romanian here.
First time hearing Sardinian, pretty hard but I was wble to guess very quickly the words.
It took me some time to get used with the articles and eliminate them because they were for me the most confusing.
And the fact that he was speaking very fast.
Interesting in any case. Not so close to Latin as I expected... :-)

What does it literally translate to? "Sexta" obviously means "sixth".
@@kekeke8988 It's the "sixth fair". Apart for the weekend we just count the other days, when you can go shopping, that is, the work days. And its the sixth because to us Sunday, "domingo", comes first. We're just a laid-back, weekend culture I guess. :-D
Sardinian is very much like Catalan, impressive. I'm a portuguese native speaker and I've identified similar pronounces which are more 'nasal'. But Sardinian language seems like Greek language in some way too. Very interesting!
da sarda trovo bellissima questa iniziativa! anche se il mio dialetto è molto diverso dal campidanese! io sono barbaricina! devo farvi davvero i complimenti bravi! un modo simpatico per imparare divertendosi e unirsi ancora in modo più fraterno con il mondo! complimenti
E' più facile trovare persone che parlano il campidanese credo. Il numero delle persone che lo parlano è maggiore.
Poi ho sentito di molte iniziative per insegnarlo, di contro nel centro Sardegna il logudorese è parlato di più nell'uso comune.
¿entonces en Cerdeña hay varios dialectos y no todos hablan igual?
Complimenti Marco!
OMG, this one was sooooo interesting! Actually my favorite yet! I really enjoyed the Sardinian speaker's stories about each of the words. As a Spanish-speaker who also dabbles in Portuguese and French, Sardinian wasn't terribly difficult to pick up using context clues and my own background knowledge! Soooo good Norbert! Keep them coming! ❤
It helps to see the transcription too.
You are literally plucking videos from my brain, amazing stuff again! Sardinian is very difficult to understand when the words blend together like the speaker here (I have heard other dialects that are clearer) but it's amazing how close to Latin it is nonetheless.
I still feel like Italian (or more accurately the Florentine Tuscan) is closer to Latin than Sardinian overall because of the clear pronunciation but I have seen some Sardinian dialects that are very close to Latin even preserving the hard C and G normally associated with Classical Latin.
Italian is definitely closer than this dialect of Campidanese, but Nuorese is certainly closer to Latin than standard Italian, while I'd say general Logudorese is more on par.
@@Philoglossos I think Nuorese is the one I was referring to as the more conservative variety of Sardinian
@@ObvsCam93 Indeed. Nuorese also has fewer epenthetic vowels, doesn't voice inherited voiceless stops, has no unstressed raising of e and o to i and u, fully retains final consonants like /t/, doesn't lose intervocalic r, doesn't lose intervocalic voiced stops, etc.
I'm sardinian, but unfortunately I never learned to speak it. I was only taught Italian as a child when I grew up in the UK. But man, it's so nice to hear it as my grandma would speak it with my mum
6:19 That one is interesting. 'Mata' is the way in which in many Spanish speaking countries, specially in the Caribbean, a *bush* is called, not a tree. Tree is usually called 'palo'. The 'palo' is always hard and tall, the 'mata' is usually smaller and could bend easily. But also, for example the banana plant is called 'mata de plátano'. You never say a 'banana tree' because it doesn't have a hard trunk and no branches, so it has to be a 'mata'. It's the same thing that Isidro says later. 'Mata' is used mostly for small plants.
We usually say mattixedda for a little tree, and matta manna for a big tree.
I speak Italian (natively) and French and Spanish fluently.... Sardinian has my brain all messed up.
You should have called also the romanian guy and the guy who speaks fluid classical latin.
Totally agree, plus, a Portuguese speaker!
It would be interesting comparing sardinian with catalán too
@@gabrieledonofrio1612 there should be a get together of all the romance languages represented in this channel, plus, of course, the mother of them all. It would be SO much fun. They could even rehearse a sketch and all.
You forgot about Portuguese and Catalan.
Bro that was my first thought!

So fascinating how many similarities can be found among all the different languages out there. It will never cease to amaze me. 😃😃😃😃
Would be good to see future videos of whether italian spanish and french can understand: Occitan, Arpitan (Franco Provencal), Traditional Romanesco, Napoletano, Sicilian, Venetian, Friulan, Milanese, Piedmontese, Emiglia/Romagnolo, Corsican.
*Lumbard 🙈🤪
That would be great. But I think franco-Provençal, Piedmontese and Milanese would to be some degree mutually intelligible and also Friulano and Venetian depends on from what area the speakers come from.
Great!
Dalmatian would be nice too. Dalmatian and Romanian would be really interesting.
The Unshackled romanesco is almost the same thing of Italian,in fact is considered as a vernacular form of standard italian like tuscan.
The others that You mentioned are languages/dialects quite different compared to italian.
Marco uses "a papai = to eat". In Portuguese (at least Brazilian one) we use a similar verb to refer to eating when we speak to children "papar = to eat". We also use "papinha" to refer to baby food.
Papar , mamar... is this a coincidence or etymology?
same in italia! Pappare is used in fable ("l'orco si pappò il bambino" the orc eat the baby), and pappa is used with children food ("pappa al pomodoro" is short pasta with tomatoes, "pappina" a smooth food. this terms also indicate some regional dishes when not related to children, like pappa al pomodoro is a soupy dish from tuscany, and pappina or papina is a bread and chocolate cake from Brianza, near milano)
@@mxMik got that same curiosity
@@silviamic9295 true, Silvia, you reminded me that "papa" in Portuguese could also mean "smooth" food, but in the region of Brazil I live in, it sounds pejorative. Example " oh I tried that risotto recipe, but I did something wrong, it is a "papa"! (= "soaked", tasteless, overcooked, unpleasant, etc)
In Polish we have a word "papu" for food (it's a rather colloquial/childish term). Now that I think about it, I guess it might be a borrowed word from Italian? Or maybe Latin?
Marco is speaking Sardinian from South Sardinia.
In the northern part it’s completely different ❤️

Sardinian is the closest language to vulgar latin still existing today
Interesting. Romanian is latin based as well.

@@catalina6 , ai impresii, cataline! Nu tot ce e metal galben e aur și nu tot ce seamănă cu latina de acolo vine!
@@florincroitoru1502 languages tend to preserve longer in isolated areas (see Bartoli's areal norms). Further, it's possible to reconstruct Vulgar latin thanks to thousands of funerary inscriptions and the numerous wall inscriptions found in Pompeii. Finally, sardinian displays several "archaic" phonetic traits that make it stand closer to latin than any other romance language :)
Hai perfettamente ragione!!
This was great! It’s the first time I’ve heard Sardinian spoken and written at length. The Italian and Spanish speaking participants appeared to fare much better than the French speaking guy.

Hi Pati, I would also add that actually there is a word similar to MATA in number 2 which is MATOLL like bush.
There's a reason why Catalan speakers can understand Sardinian more than some other romance speakers. The crown of Aragon mainly spoke Catalan and conquered Sardinia in the 1300s. As you may know this also led to the variety of Catalan being spoken in the Sardinian town of Alghero to this day called Alguerès or Alghero Catalan.
Pati Cubells Ricart as a French speaker catalan is very easy to understand specially the written form even the words you just wrote..
Pati Cubells Ricart Catalan language is one of the major sources for the formation of Southern Sardinian language:
cadira,muccadori,aicci,seu,nou,busciacca,sindria,fustei,punça,mandroni etc...
We have also the same use of the verbs of tenni (tener) and portai (portar),that is the same also in Spanish = tener vs llevar.
I thought number 3 was called "rabosa"
Totally loving this video 😍
Дякую за відео, Норберте!
Tantissimi saluti da Buenos Aires. Ho imparto su sardo con mi nonna y mi mamá.. desde chiquita.. el Campidanese. Grazie.. di cubre.
The first word is xícara in portuguese and mata in Portuguese means “ forests/ jungle”
I always wondered why those words were so different than the Spanish equivalent
Wow so interesting
Mata: It’s basically bush in French it’s brousse
Mata (apart from meaning “kills” as a verb) is a pretty old sounding and informal word for “weed” or “bush”.
Also in old traditional sicilian the word is CICARA
Filippo Rubino I feel like they should have brought a French from France he would’ve done better than the Canadian one. I speak French fluently and I understood quite a bit of Sardinian guy but it’s a very challenging language.
