Sardinian conjugation
The conjugation of Sardinian verbs are mainly divided according to infinitives into "-are", "-ere", and "-ire" verbs in north-central dialects (including the "Limba Sarda Comuna") for regular verbs, similar to the tripartite systems of Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian (all involve infinitives with thematic vowels "-a-", "-e-", and "-i-"). In southern dialects (including Campidanese dialect), these infinitives above change to "-ai", "-i", and "-iri", respectively. Irregular verbs also exist as well. Many Sardinian conjugated forms were similar and conservative phonologically to Classical Latin, although the number of tenses were greatly reduced and the remaining tenses rely on periphrasis . The conjugation of Sardinian verbs split into its own article due to possible diversity. The conjugations here are currently based on "Limba Sarda Comuna", Logudorese dialect, and Campidanese dialect. Overview. Like other Romance languages, Sardinian verbs have a high degree of inflection. However, Sardinian conjugation is rather diverse, but less diverse compared to that of Occitan. Additionally, the indicative and subjunctive imperfect tenses of Campidanese come from Latin indicative perfect and subjunctive pluperfect, respectively. Also, the Latin indicative perfect evolved to poetic preterite in Logudorese dialect, the endings are (from > > > > > ) "-esi", "-esti", "-esit", "-èsimus"/"-emus", "-ezis , and -èsint". Sardinian once also preserved the Latin conjugation of the indicative pluperfect (e.g. sc. "derat" from lat. "dederat", sc. "fekerat" / "fecherat" from Lat. "fecerat", sc. "furarat" from VL. *"furaverat", etc.), but has long fallen out of use. The tenses include (periphrases are in green): Similar to Portuguese and Spanish, imperative forms can only exist in and , but other forms (except ) are supplied by present subjunctive forms. The forms are mostly pronounced as they written, with the exception of forms ending in consonants are pronounced with an epenthetic vowel same as the last vowel next to the consonant, with the  final unvoiced consonant being voiced intervocalically and voiced stops were further lenited also intervocalically to fricatives ("cantas" → "càntasa" , "cantet" → "càntede" ). Therefore, it is normally not reflected in the orthography, although the forms "cantan", "càntana", "cantant", or "càntanta" of the ending in Logudorese are all acceptable (forms in "-nt" is used here).
