The Sardinian Romance language
Il sardo è una lingua “;romanza”; o “;neolatina”;, that is, a linguistic domain that derives from the language spoken by the ancient Romans. In the same way, the Portuguese are, The Spaniard, The Catalan, l’;Occitanic, the Franco-Provenzale, French, l’;Italian, Ladin, the Friulian, the course, Dalmatic (extinct today) e il rumeno.Le lingue romanze Si definiscono romanze le lingue che sono derivate dalle diverse forme –; essenzialmente parlate –; assunte dal latino volgare entro i confini dell’;Empire Romano.Morphology The part of the grammar that studies the form of words is called morphology. Soprattutto in questo settore il sardo conserva chiarissima l’;Romance language imprint, showing numerous traits that, according to the prevalent opinion of scholars, they reconnect it to an archaic latinity. Historical weaponic among the traits that draw the peculiarity of the Sardinian in the panorama of the historical phonetics of the Romance languages, The most important are those concerning vocalism, Consonantism and treatment of labyvelars and occlusive.
When due to migration or wars of conquest a population invades a territory, Usually he imposes his own language and culture to the people who originally lived those lands.
As a result of long and medium duration historical processes, The people who assimilate the new language tends to maintain and transport some characters of the old mother tongue in the new language acquired.
Questo è il motivo per cui dalla latinizzazione seguita alla conquista romana dell’;Europe then developed numerous Romance languages with local peculiarities and uniqueness. Probabilmente l’;Above all phonetic influence, But in some cases also lexical and syntactic, pre -existing languages first conditioned the spoken Latin e, subsequently, The birth of the Romance language. The original language is considered substrate language, or in the case of Sardinia that language, or those languages, che preesistevano all’;I arrive, imposition and stabilization of Latin. In particular, The paleosardo can be assumed (or nuragic) and the Punic (or Phoenician-Cartiese). According to Giovanni Lilliu, Indeed, con la conquista cartaginese si ruppe l’;unità linguistica e nazionale degli abitanti dell’;isola, as a good part of the population of the coasts and plains ended up embracing culture and Semitic language.
Linguistic contributions following Latinization
Around 460 AD. Sardinia, now completely Latinized, It was occupied by the vandals. It is the first of a series of foreign appearances, che tuttavia non avranno per conseguenza l’;lasting imposition of the respective languages or at least one of them, as had previously happened with the Romans. Vandalic in the current Sardinian does not appear direct traces of a Germanic linguistic superstrate, che possa univocamente riferirsi al periodo in cui l’;Island was subject to vandals. The Greek-bizarino unlike Germanicus, il superstrato greco-bizantino ha lasciato tracce consistenti nella lingua dell’;isola, relating to the long Byzantine age, from the 6th to the 10th century. L’;Justinian emperor, perhaps called by Goda, self -proclaiming king of Sardinia, decise di intervenire ed inviò nell’;isola un esercito comandato dal generale Belisario coadiuvato dal duca Cirillo.Il pisano medievale L’;Islam allontanò l’;Island from Byzantium e, In the void of power the four judged or independent kingdoms of Cagliari arose, d’;Arborea, of Gallura and Torres. A partire dall’;The beginning of the thousand began the commercial and political penetration of Genoa and Pisa in Sardinia, cui si deve l’;introduzione di termini linguistici soprattutto pisani medievali.Il catalano Nel 1323 un corpo di spedizione guidato dall’;Infante Alfonso, figlio di Giacomo II d’;Aragon, He landed in Sardinia. L’;evento può essere considerato l’;atto iniziale di un nuovo periodo della storia sarda che vide l’;isola, but to 1718, subject to almost uninterrupted way first to the Catalan-Aragonese domain and then to the Spanish one. The Castilian regarding Spanish, Or rather the Castilian assumed to the official language of the Crown of Spain, il suo uso tardò a farsi strada nell’;isola, soprattutto in quelle zone in cui più aveva preso piede il catalano.L’;italiano L’;Italian influence begins intense after that, In 1718, Sardinia has passed to the Piedmontese and later became part of the Italian state or, Better, della compagine solo politicamente e amministrativamente unitaria dell’;Italy of nations.
