Logudor dialect

Latin G and K to / i , e / is not palatalized in Logudor dialect, unlike all other Romance languages. Wed logudoric kentu with Italian cento / ˈtʃɛnto / , Spanish ciento / ˈθjento /, / ˈsjento / and French cent / sɑ̃ / . Like other Sardinian dialects, the majority of Logudor subdialects also underwent Laziness , in particular, in the inter-local positions - / p / -, - / t / - and - / k / - / (for example, Lat. Focum > fogu "fire", ripa > riba "shore", rota > roda "wave"). Logudorsky is understandable for those who live in southern Sardinia, where they speak Campidan ^[2] , but are not understandable for those living in the far north of the island, where they speak Corsican-Sardinian dialects .

The region of Logudoro (the name originated as a contamination of the name of the kingdom of Logho de Torres ), which is spoken in Logudor, is located in the northern part of the island of Sardinia , which has close cultural and linguistic connections with Ozieri and Nuoro , as well as history, important features in the western region, where is the most significant city of Ittiri . This is an area of ​​approximately 150 × 100 km with a population of about 500,000–700,000 people.

The origin of the dialect was investigated by Eduardo Blasco Ferrer and others. The language comes from the Latin and Old Latin, Protosard ( Nuragic ) substrate, but was influenced by the Catalan and Spanish languages ​​during the rule of the crown of Aragon and later the Spanish Empire over the island. Logudorsky is the northern macrodialect of the Sardinian language, while the southern macro-dialect is Campidan, which is spoken in the southern half of the island. In both cases, there is a certain common origin and history, but they are influenced by several different events.

Although the dialect is typically Romance, some words are not of Latin origin and of uncertain etymology. One of these is the “nura”, derived from the “ nuragi ”, the pre-Roman architecture of the island, because of which the pre-Roman epoch in the history of the island is called the nuragic. Different place names also have roots that can be analyzed.

Logudor dialect slowly changed under the action of folk Latin , unlike other Romanesque dialects , so linguist Mario Pei determined that 8% is the degree of separation from Latin in the Nuor subdialect, which is quite modest compared to other Romance languages . For this reason, and also in view of the preservation of many works of traditional literature from the 15th century, logudor is considered the most important dialect of Sardinian.

The Logudor dialect has several dialects (subdialects), some of which are limited to individual villages or valleys. Although such differences may be noticeable, the dialects are mutually comprehensible, and are also understood by speakers of Campidanese dialects.
