Sardinian (natively: sardu, limba sarda) is a Romance language spoken in the greatest part of the island of Sardinia (Italy), excepting the far north.

It is a legally protected language thanks to a regional law of Sardinia and a state law of Italy. But it remains dominated by Italian, the state language.

Sardinian is often considered as the more conservative Romance language since it has kept some features very similar to Latin.
