Subvariants
There are seven main subdialects of Campidanese Sardinian, namely Western Campidanese,
Vocabulary
Campidanese Sardinian has some borrowed words from Aragonese, Catalan and Spanish. Since the early 20th century, there has been an increase in lexical borrowing from Italian as well; that is particularly evident with technological words for which there is no Campidanese equivalent. However, many words that are from Italian have been changed phonetically so that they sound Sardinian. Italian loan words that end in an o are often substituted with a u. The strong Campidanese accent also changes the sound of the word.
Characteristics
- Singular nouns descending from 3rd declension Latin nouns ending in "-i" (Campidanese pisci vs Logudorese pische)
- Plural definite article of "is" (Campidanese is terras vs Logudorese sas terras)
- Gerund in "-endi" (Campidanese èssendi vs Logudorese èssende)
- Conservation of the Latin phoneme <qu> and <gu> (/kʷ/ and /ɡʷ/) in words such as akua (water) and sànguni (blood).
- Palatalisation of Latin word-initial /k/ before /e/ and /i/ (Lat. centum > centu cf. Logudorese chentu). In medial positions, /k/ becomes /-ʒ-/ (Lat. decem > dexi cf. Logudorese deghe) or /-ʃʃ-/ (Lat. piscem > pisci)
- Transformation of /rj/ to /rɡ/, /nj/ to /nɡ/, /lj/ to /ll/, and /ti/, /te/ into /tz/
- Epenthetic /a/ before word-initial /r/ (Lat. rubeum > arrubiu)
- Metathesis (Logudorese Carbonia vs Campidanese Crabonia)
- Catalan influence (Words such as seu "cathedral" loaned from Catalan)
Campidanese Sardinian is intelligible to those from the central to southern part of Sardinia, where
Italian speakers do not understand Campidanese, like any other dialect of the Sardinian language:[5] Sardinian is an autonomous linguistic group rather than an Italian dialect[6] as it is often noted because of its morphological, syntactic, and lexical differences from Italian.
Writing system
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Letters are used without indicating whether they are intended to be graphemes, phonemes or phones. (March 2023) |
Campidanese is written using the Latin alphabet. Like Italian, Campidanese does not use ⟨w⟩ or ⟨y⟩. Campidanese also uses the digraphs ⟨gh⟩, representing /g/, ⟨ch⟩ representing /k/ before e and i vowels, ⟨tz⟩ representing /ts/ and ⟨x⟩, representing /ʒ/.
In phonetic syntax, final or intervocalic ⟨t⟩ is pronounced as a /
