Editing Sardinian language (section)

===Nouns===
* The plural [[marker (linguistics)|marker]] is ''-s'' (ie, sigmatic plural (from the Latin [[accusative]] plural)), as in [[Western Romance languages]] like French, [[Occitan language|Occitan]], Catalan, Spanish, [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]] and [[Galician language|Galician]]: ''sardu'', ''sardus'' "Sardinian"; ''pudda'', ''puddas'' "hen"; ''margiane'', ''margianes'' "fox". In [[Italo-Dalmatian languages]] like Italian, or [[Eastern Romance languages]] like [[Romanian language|Romanian]], the plural ends with ''-i'', ''-e'' or ''-a'' (ie, vocalic non-sigmatic plural). However, Sardinian may also change the final vowel.
* The definite article derives from the Latin ''ipse'': ''su, sa'', plural ''sos, sas'' (Logudorese & Nuorese) and ''is'' (Campidanese). At present, such articles are only common in [[Balearic dialect|Balearic Catalan]] and were once used in [[Gascon language|Gascon]] as well, whilst all the other Romance languages make use of forms derived from ''ille''.
