One usage refers to a variety of a language that is characteristic of a particular group of the language's speakers. The term is applied most often to regional speech patterns, but a dialect may also be defined by other factors, such as social class. A dialect that is associated of Sardinian Sardinian is the collective name of the vernacular linguistic varieties spoken in most of the island of Sardinia, Italy.

Origins and features
The language's origins have been investigated by several authors; Eduardo Blasco Ferrer's investigation is one of the most thorough. Studies show the language to be related to Latin Latin or sometimes Roman is an Italic language originally spoken in Latium and Ancient Rome.

It is also spoken in the (due to Aragon At the height of its power by the 14th and 15th centuries, the Crown of Aragon was a thalassocracy controlling a large portion of the present-day eastern Spain, Southwestern France, as well as some of the major islands and mainland possessions stretching across the Mediterranean Sea as far as Greece.

States of the U.S. where Spanish has no official status but is spoken by 10-20% of the population. States of the U.S. where Spanish has no official status but is spoken by 5-9.9% of the population. Comparisons have been made with Sardo campidanese Sardu Campidanesu is a diasystem of the Sardinian language primarily spoken in the Province of Cagliari. Traditionally, the name Campidano refers to the fertile area located around the towns of Guspini and Villacidro. Campidanesu and its variants of the dialect can be found across the entire Provincia di Cagliari and not just the Province of Medio, the other main variant of the Sardinian language Sardinian is the collective name of the vernacular linguistic varieties spoken in most of the island of Sardinia, Italy. It is considered the most conservative of the Romance languages in terms of phonology and is noted for its Paleosardinian substratum, spoken on the southern side of the island, and it seems that the two variants share common roots but have experienced different evolutions, even if Campidanese has clearer relationships with Southern Mediterranean languages.
Some roots, however, still cannot be deciphered. One root of uncertain etymology is "nur", e.g. in "Nuraghe The nuraghe (plural Italian nuraghi, Sardinian nuraghes) is the main type of ancient megalithic edifice found in Sardinia, Italy. Today it has come to be the symbol of Sardinia and its distinctive culture, the Nuragic civilization. According to the Oxford English Dictionary the etymology is "uncertain and disputed": "The word is" (the main Sardinian ancient monument, from which an era is called), and in many names of places (not only thorps).
Perhaps the most interesting feature of Logudorian is that, due to the particular history of the area, it has suffered very little contamination and has changed very slowly, preserving traces of every innovation.
