14-563: Traditionally the name Campidanu ( Campidano in Italian) refers to the fertile area located around the towns of Guspini and Villacidro . Campidanese dialects can be found across the entire Province of Cagliari and not just the Province of Medio Campidano area. Campidanese also extends into parts of the Province of Nuoro , notably the Ogliastra area and in the southern half of

28-627: Is a graben , a tectonic structure formed in the mid- Pliocene /early Pleistocene (4 to 2 million years ago). Later it was subject to large sedimentary deposition phenomena, creating an overall thickness of 600 m of sediments. The plain is crossed by the Tirso River , the longest in Sardinia. Agriculture has been successful in Campidano since the Neolithic , continuing on through

42-405: Is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . Graben In geology , a graben ( / ˈ ɡ r ɑː b ən / ) is a depressed block of the crust of a planet or moon, bordered by parallel normal faults . Graben is a loan word from German , meaning 'ditch' or 'trench'. The first known usage of the word in the geologic context was by Eduard Suess in 1883. The plural form

56-405: Is either graben or grabens . A graben is a valley with a distinct escarpment on each side caused by the displacement of a block of land downward. Graben often occur side by side with horsts . Horst and graben structures indicate tensional forces and crustal stretching. Graben are produced from parallel normal faults, where the displacement of the hanging wall is downward, while that of

70-559: Is inserted before the normally-initial s (es: sa scala , is (i)scalas(a) , the staircase, the staircases). The spelling rules were established by the Province of Cagliari with a deliberation on March 17, 2010. Campidano Campidano ( Sardinian : Campidànu ) is a plain located in South-Western Sardinia ( Italy ), covering approximately 100 kilometres between Cagliari and Oristano . Geologically, it

84-582: Is often noted because of its morphological, syntactic, and lexical differences from Italian. Campidanese is written using the Latin alphabet. Like Italian, Campidanese does not use ⟨w⟩ or ⟨y⟩ . Campidanese also uses the digraphs ⟨gh⟩ , representing / g / , ⟨ch⟩ representing / k / before e and i vowels, ⟨tz⟩ representing / ts / and ⟨x⟩ , representing / ʒ / . In phonetic syntax, final or intervocalic ⟨t⟩

98-407: Is pronounced as a / d / (es: issu andat , meaning "he goes", is pronounced issu andada ) and ⟨s⟩ is pronounced as a / z̪ / , (es. sa mesa , meaning "the table", is pronounced sa mez̪a ). When there are consonants like s , t or nt at the end of the word, a helping vowel is usually added (es. sa domu , is domus(u) , the house, the houses). If preceded by a consonant, an "i"

112-404: Is the dialect spoken in the island's capital; however, it extends to most of the neighbouring towns and villages within a 15 km radius of Cagliari. In 2009, the provincial administration of Cagliari approved the spelling, phonetics, morphology, and vocabulary rules for Standard Campidanese Sardinian. Campidanese Sardinian has some borrowed words from Aragonese , Catalan and Spanish . Since

126-453: The Province of Oristano , the capital included. However, it is at this point that the dialects merge into Logudorese . There are seven main subdialects of Campidanese Sardinian, namely Western Campidanese, Sarrabese ( sarrabesu ), Southern Barbagian , and Oristano 's ( 'aristanesu or also arborensi ), Ogliastra 's ( ollastrinu ), Cagliari 's ( casteddaju ), and the varieties of Sulcis ( meurreddinu ). Casteddaju

140-670: The Punic and the Romans , who cultivated here grains and grape. Dams of the large Sardinian rivers nourish the artichoke and wheat cultures, also typical products of this zone. Paddy fields are present near Oristano. The Sardinians from this area, and by extension all the people inhabiting the lowlands of Southern Sardinia, are called Campidanese ( Sardinian : Campidanesus , Italian : Campidanesi ). 39°36′00″N 8°54′00″E  /  39.6000°N 8.9000°E  / 39.6000; 8.9000 This Sardinia location article

154-463: The footwall is upward. The faults typically dip toward the center of the graben from both sides. Horsts are parallel blocks that remain between graben; the bounding faults of a horst typically dip away from the center line of the horst. Single or multiple graben can produce a rift valley . In many rifts , the graben are asymmetric, with a major fault along only one of the boundaries, and these are known as half-graben. The polarity (throw direction) of

168-411: The early 20th century, there has been an increase in lexical borrowing from Italian as well; that is particularly evident with technological words for which there is no Campidanese equivalent. However, many words that are from Italian have been changed phonetically so that they sound Sardinian. Italian loan words that end in an o are often substituted with a u . The strong Campidanese accent also changes

182-419: The main bounding faults typically alternates along the length of the rift. The asymmetry of a half-graben strongly affects syntectonic deposition. Comparatively little sediment enters the half-graben across the main bounding fault because of footwall uplift on the drainage systems. The exception is at any major offset in the bounding fault, where a relay ramp may provide an important sediment input point. Most of

196-511: The sound of the word. Campidanese Sardinian is intelligible to those from the central to the southern part of Sardinia, where Logudorese Sardinian is spoken, but it is not to those from the extreme north of the island, where Corsican–Sardinian dialects are spoken. Italian speakers do not understand Campidanese, like any other dialect of the Sardinian language: Sardinian is an autonomous linguistic group rather than an Italian dialect as it
