I heard recently (on TV I think) that Sardinian is considered 'closest to'
Vulgar Latin. Can you tell me if that statement was right?
I once met an old chap who would read Romanian publications. He said he
could easily understand it because it was so similar to the VL he'd learnt
(for religious reasons, liturgies or something, I don't recall).
Is this making any sort of sense?
