A few years ago, we went on holiday to Sardinia. We stayed near Alghero on the North West coast. I was amazed to discover that the main language spoken there was not Italian, but Catalan. Why was this?
There are 4 main languages spoken in Sardinia, with local variations within this languages.
So why so many languages in an island that’s only about 160 miles long? Sardinia has a complicated language topology because it has a very complicated history.
