Campidanian
Quick Summary
Campidanese is the dialect of southern Sardinia, an island in Italy. It is named after the Campidano, a lowland plain in southwestern Sardinia that extends inland from the Gulf of Oristano. This region is a significant agricultural area, producing grains, olives, almonds, vegetables, fruits, and grapes for wine. Historically a malarial swamp, drainage efforts have transformed it into a fertile and populous region. Campidanese is considered a Romance language, sharing characteristics with other languages in this family, such as a greater emphasis on vowels compared to consonants.123
