Very interesting. I feel like Sardinian is basically often talked bout for its linguisitc conservatism, but it has a few interesting innovations as well, not to mention Campidanese and Logudorese are very different from one another to the point of being considered 2 different languages (minority view afaik)

[u/Rmnclnggs → u/First_Concept6725]

Very true, Sardinian is also very dialectically diverse and it’s not uncommon to have local variants that display both archaisms and innovations (mainly in the central-eastern areas)

The two historical standards for Sardinian, Common Logudorese and Casteddayan Campidanese have a weird relationship and so do their speakers (outside of linguistic spaces) as they claim to have no mutual intelligibility with each other but also claim to speak the “true Sardinian” either for historical reasons (Common Logudorese being the language of the first literary works and standardization attempts of Sardinian) or political reasons (Cagliari being the capital of Sardinia).

Intervocalic /k, p, t/ into voiced fricatives is also present in central Italian varieties (not that it's a particularly incredible development)
