Me neither! Normal Italian speakers can't decipher it. It is the majority spoken on the island. I had brainstormed some islands and when I researched Sardinia, because I assumed the language was Italian, I was surprised too.

Italy actually has lots of languages, and in fact lots of the population is bilingual, with people speaking languages such as Venetian and Sicilian, along with Italian, despite the fact that these languages are mutually unintelligible; these are considered dialects although they are not Italian.
