Sardinian (Sardu, Limba or Lingua sarda) is a Romance language. It is native to the island of Sardinia, a Mediterranean island and autonomous region of Italy.
Sardinian is often seen as the closest language to Latin. It has had to fight for decades to get basic recognition by the Italian government.
