>>2559858
Which period are we talking about?

>>2559904
In general I guess.

If we have to nail a specific period say mid-19th century, around the time of the Italian Unification.

>>2559927
Yes

Genetically they're a distinct population, but it's not like they're French transplants or anything. The Sardinian dialect is also deemed to be quite conservative (as in similar to Latin) from a lexical standpoint: e.g., they are the only Romance speakers who kept the Latin root "domus" for 'house'.

On a barely related note but I couldn't be fucked making an entire thread, why didn't they just exile Napoleon to Corsica after the loss to Russia and the VI Coalition? Let him be Emperor of that.

>>2559940
Corsica became French shortly after Napoleon's birth. Also letting him be in a position of power pretty much anywhere would be a mistake considering he was still able to escape from Elba

They spoke Sardinian which is very different from Italian, so during the early 20th century they had to force it in schools and it was a big shock in the interior villages where almost everyone spoke Sardinian, the kids were prohibited to speak it in school

>>2559992
Sardinia was never even touched by Ottomans aside from the occasional pirate raid, on the contrary some Ottoman ships off the coasts of the island were sunk by Sardinians

Bump for interest.

Very different obviously since Sardinia wasn't reached until the age of exploration

>>2561892
Perhaps not even until the modern era,according to some historians. There are many that say no ship could reach the island until the age of steam.

>>2559858
in that city alghero in the northeast part of the island, the people there up until like 50 years ago spoke a variation of Catalan. It was a legacy of the Aragonese ownership of the island in the middle ages.

>>2559877
AJOOOOO

The original people were Pisans so who the fuck cares

>>2562756
interesting didn't know that
>>2562760
yea sorry i messed up

>>2562756
Most people who live there nowadays are of Sardinian descent anyway

>The citizens currently residing in Alghero, however, are mostly from the countries and surrounding territories, are poorly inclined to the use of Catalan, preferring especially the Italian language, Sardinian and Sassarese.

It's believed that some of the "sea peoples" the egyptians recorded were from this Island.


I think that's neat.
