Paleo-Sardinian (Paleosardinian) or
Paleo-Sardo (Paleosardo), also known as
Nuragic, is an
extinct language (or perhaps languages) spoken in
Sardinia (and possibly
Corsica) during the
Bronze Age, which is thought to have left traces in the
onomastics of the island and in the modern
Sardinian language. By the third century,
Latin had become the language of Sardinia, and the old language(s) survive mainly in toponyms, which appear to preserve grammatical suffixes, and in a few names of plants.
