Tabarchino is a
Ligurian language spoken in Sardinia
.
Tabarchino is spoken in the communities of
Sant'Antioco Island, which are located in the Archipelago of Sulcis in the Province of South Sardinia
.
Tabarchino enjoys regional recognition through the laws on the promotion of the Sardinian language and culture (l.r. N.26/97,[1] l.r. N.22/18[2]).
Carloforte Tabarchino retains very few archaisms and is very close to modern Genoese; on the other hand, Calasetta Tabarchino has many more archaisms and is very close to 17th century Ligurian, and its lexicon is also more Sardinian-influenced. The two dialects share words of Tunisian Arabic and French derivation.
