Language in Sardinia
Along with Italian, Sardinians speak one of the dialects of Sardinian language (similar to Latin, but with some deep Semitic influence). And in the Gallura they speak Corsican, In Alghero they also speak Catalan, while in the San Pietro Island they speak Ligurian. Sardinians generally speak Italian when addressing people they do not know, even other Sardinians, as the four main dialects are rather different. Outside of the cities English is not widely spoken even among the young, and even in the cities only by the young; you might have better luck with French, especially with 50+ year-old people in the cities, but do not expect anything but Italian and Sardinian elsewhere.
