Discover →The Sardinian language
Sardinian is a Romance language in its own right, considered the closest to Latin. Its main varieties are Logudorese and Campidanese; Catalan is spoken in Alghero, a Ligurian dialect in Carloforte and Calasetta, while Gallurese and Sassarese are close to Corsican.
Crafts
Hand-woven rugs with geometric patterns, filigree gold jewellery, cork, baskets and the knives of Pattada and Arbus: Sardinian crafts are alive and make great souvenirs.
Nature
Sardinia has animals found nowhere else: the Sardinian deer, the wild horses of the Giara, the white donkeys of Asinara, mouflon in the mountains and flamingos in the lagoons.
