“…However, contacts between the two islands continued throughout both the Bronze and the Iron Ages and was not restricted to the adjacent areas, but spread into the interior, as it is suggested, for instance, by obsidian manufactures which were traded in Corsica from central Sardinia. The relations between Corsica and northern Sardinian are also obvious in the dialectal spoken in Gallura (North Sardinia), that shows evident Corsican origins (Blasco Ferrer, 1984;Mori, 1966) and this provides evidence of population migrations and cultural blending (Calafell et al, 1996). As Lilliu (1988) maintains, on the basis of the historical and archaeological evidence, ''in every period of history the northernmost part of Sardinia has been inhabited mainly by Corsican populations.''…”

β-globin cluster haplotypes in normal individuals and β039-thalassemia carriers from Sardinia, Italy

et al. 2005

Seven polymorphic sites in the beta-globin cluster in association with specific thalassemia mutations were analyzed in a sample from Sardinia, Italy. In order to verify previous works carried out on normal samples (beta(A)/beta(A)) and family studies on beta-thalassemia homozygotes individuals, the haplotype frequencies in both normal individuals (beta(A)/beta(A)) and beta(0)39-thalassemia carriers (beta(A)/beta0) were studied. In our work chromosomes carrying beta(0)39 mutation are characterized by a prevalence of haplotype II (- + + - + + +) (52%) relative to haplotype I (+- - - - + +) (29%), in contrast, among chromosomes with beta(A) the frequency of haplotype I is much greater than that of haplotype II. These data confirm what was found by other authors. Nevertheless, our results disagree with those of previous studies of Sardinians, both in frequencies values and in the numbers of haplotypes identified. Population analysis performed with samples carrying the beta-thalassemic mutation highlighted the peculiarity of Sardinians with respect to other Mediterranean populations. The Corsican population is most similar to the Sardinian population, confirming previous analyses performed with both classical markers and mitochondrial and genomic DNA.

“…Sardinian is a Romance language or dialect continuum descended from the Latin brought to Sardinia by Roman invaders in the first few hundred years BCE; Wagner (1941) and Blasco Ferrer (1984) give comprehensive historical accounts of the development of the language; the historical information in this section is drawn from those works and from Bolognesi's (1998) concise summary. Inhabitants of the island were isolated from the rest of the former Roman empire by the sixth or seventh century CE, and this is ostensibly when Sardinian's divergence from other early Romance varieties accelerated.…”

This paper gives a detailed description of the consonant system of Campidanese Sardinian and makes methodological and theoretical contributions to the study of lenition. The data are drawn from a corpus of field recordings, including roughly 400 utterances produced by 15 speakers from the Trexenta and Western Campidanese areas. Campidanese has a complex lenition system that interacts with length, voicing, and manner contrasts. We show that the semi-automated lenition analysis presented in this journal by Ennever, Meakins, and Round can be fruitfully extended to our corpus, despite its much more heterogeneous set of materials in a genetically distant language. Intensity measurements from this method do not differ qualitatively from more traditional ones in their ability to detect lenition-fortition patterns, but do differ in interactions with stress. Lenition-fortition patterns reveal at least three levels of prosodic constituent in Campidanese, each of which is associated with medial lenition and initial fortition. Lenition affects all consonants and V-V transitions. It reduces duration, increases intensity, and probabilistically affects qualitative manner and voicing features in obstruents. Mediation analysis using regression modeling suggests that some intensity and most qualitative reflexes of lenition are explained by changes in duration, but not vice versa.

“…Contact between the two islands is also well-documented for other periods, and was not limited only to the bordering areas. These relations are also highlighted by some linguistic similarities: the dialect spoken today in Gallura (northern Sardinia) has strong Corsican origins (Mori, 1966;Blasco-Ferrer, 1984) justified by migratory and cultural exchanges (Calafell et al, 1996). On the basis of historical and archeological evidence, Lilliu maintains that throughout history most of northern Sardinia was inhabited for the most part by the Corsican population (Lilliu, 1988).…”

Genetic structure and affinities of the corsican population (France): Classical genetic markers analysis

The frequencies of 19 classical genetic markers for a total of 54 alleles were studied in a sample of 1,164 individuals born and residing in five different regions of Corsica. The results, which are also discussed in the context of the Mediterranean populations, show the existence within Corsica of a certain genetic differentiation between north and south which follows the linguistic subdivision differentiation. Compared to the other Mediterranean populations, Corsica also appears to be greatly differentiated from the populations of regions such as France and Tuscany, regions which have had great political and cultural influence. The Mediterranean population most comparable to Corsica is Sardinia. Despite their common origin, however, they do not prove to be absolutely identical. The genetic characteristics of Corsica and their relationship with the Mediterranean populations are interpreted in terms of demographic and matrimonial structure, isolation, and genetic drift.
