'''Algherese''' or '''Alguerese''' ([[endonym and exonym|autonym]]: {{lang|ca-IT|alguerés}} {{IPA|ca-IT|alɣaˈɾes|}}){{efn|[[Catalan language|Standard Catalan]]: {{lang|ca|alguerès}} {{IPA|ca|əlɣəˈɾɛs|}}.}} is the [[Variety (linguistics)|variety]] of  [[Catalan language|Catalan]] spoken in the city of [[Alghero]] ({{lang|ca|L'Alguer}} in Catalan), in the northwest of [[Sardinia]], Italy.

The dialect has its roots in 1372, when Catalan-speaking colonists were allowed to repopulate Alghero and expel the [[Sardinians|native population]], after several revolts.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://prosodia.upf.edu/coalgueres/en/algueres.html |title=L'Alguer and Alguerese Catalan – Oral Corpus of Alguerese|website=prosodia.upf.edu |access-date=1 September 2018}}</ref> Catalan was replaced as the official language by [[Spanish language|Spanish]], then by [[Italian language|Italian]] in the mid-18th century. Today the language has semi-official recognition alongside Italian.

Studies give an approximate number of 20,000 to 30,000 native speakers of the language worldwide. In communities where Algherese is spoken, [[Italian language|Italian]] and [[Logudorese dialect|Logudorese]] [[Sardinian language|Sardinian]] are often used as well.<ref name=":0" />

== History ==
Algherese is a regional dialect spoken by anywhere from 20,000 to 30,000 individuals, most of whom reside in the town of [[Alghero]], located in the northwest of [[Sardinia]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Salminen |first=Tapani |title=Encyclopedia of the World's Endangered Languages |date=2007 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-0-7007-1197-0 |editor-last=Moseley |editor-first=Christopher |location=London |pages=235 |language=en |chapter=Europe and North Asia}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://endangeredlanguages.com/lang/944|title=Did you know Algherese Catalan is vulnerable?|website=Endangered Languages|language=en|access-date=9 March 2017}}</ref> The language, though distinct, is initially derived from, and thus considered a variant of, the [[Catalan language]].<ref name=":0"/> The origins of the language can be traced back to 1372, when Catalan invaders repopulated the city of [[Alghero]] after exiling the indigenous populations in [[Sardinia]].<ref name=":0" /> Despite the city's increasing [[Italianisation]], the use of this Catalan dialect remained widespread until at least the 1970s.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Minder |first1=Raphael |title=Italy's Last Bastion of Catalan Language Struggles to Keep It Alive |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/21/world/europe/catalan-italy-alghero.html |work=The New York Times |date=21 November 2016 |language=en}}</ref>

===Present status===
As a result of the city's extensive Italianisation, [[Italian language|Italian]] is now the predominant language in Alghero,<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=http://prosodia.upf.edu/coalgueres/en/algueres.html|title=Corpus Oral de l'Alguerès|website=prosodia.upf.edu|access-date=9 March 2017}}</ref> being estimated by a 2004 survey to be first language of close to 60% of those surveyed.<ref>{{harvp|Generalitat de Catalunya, Secretaria de Política Lingüística|2004|p=24}}</ref><ref name=":1" /> The use of the dialect in schools and media, to name a few, remains sparse. Teaching of the dialect in school is also rare. However, in an attempt to reverse the trend, the Regional Council of Sardinia officially recognised "Algherese Catalan" as a separate language in 1997, in order to promote its use and circulation.<ref name=":1" /> According to the 2004 survey, Algherese was used by approximately 14% of the population for daily interactions.<ref>{{harvp|Generalitat de Catalunya, Secretaria de Política Lingüística|2004|p=25}}</ref> The dialect is mostly a local language, often used to supplement [[Italian language|Italian]] and/or [[Sardinian language|Sardinian]] in relatively small circles.<ref>{{harvp|Argenter|2008}}</ref>

The following figures were obtained from the ''Enquesta d'usos lingüístics a l'Alguer'' ("Survey of linguistic usage in Alghero", EULAL) of 2004<ref>{{Cite report |url=http://llengua.gencat.cat/web/.content/documents/dadesestudis/altres/arxius/eula2004.pdf |title=Enquesta d'usos lingüístics a l'Alguer |last=Generalitat de Catalunya, Secretaria de Política Lingüística |date=2004 |publisher=Generalitat de Catalunya, Secretaria de Política Lingüística |language=ca |trans-title=Survey of linguistic usage in Alghero}}</ref> and the ''Els usos lingüístics a l'Alguer'' of 2015 (EULA 2015),<ref>{{cite report |date=2017 |title=Els usos lingüístics a l'Alguer, 2015 |trans-title=Linguistic usage in Alghero, 2015 |language=ca |url=http://llengua.gencat.cat/web/.content/documents/publicacions/btpl/arxius/20_Usos_linguistics_Alguer_2015.pdf |publisher=Generalitat de Catalunya }}</ref> both of which were studies conducted in the town of Alghero about the general use of Algherese in several media.

===Official recognition===
In 1999, Catalan and Sardinian were among the twelve minority languages officially recognised as Italy's "[[Languages of Italy#Historical linguistic minorities|historical linguistic minorities]]" by the Italian State under Law No. 482/1999.<ref>Law No. 482 of 15 December 1999. "Rules on the protection of historical linguistic minorities". Article 2. Gazzetta Ufficiale n. 297. 20 December 1999</ref> Prior to this, the Regional Council of Sardinia had passed the Regional Law No. 26 of 15 October 1997 which, aside from promoting the equality in dignity of the Sardinian language with the Italian language throughout the island, provided that the other languages of smaller scope be afforded the same treatment as the aforementioned languages, among which Catalan is cited, in the city of Alghero.<ref>[http://www.regione.sardegna.it/j/v/86?v=9&c=72&file=1997026 Regional Law No. 26 of 15 October 1997.

:Notes:
:* The close-mid and mid-close vowels {{IPA|/ɛ, e/}} and {{IPA|/ɔ, o/}} merge into [[mid vowel]]s ({{IPAblink|e̞}} and {{IPAblink|o̞}}, here transcribed without diacritics) in Modern Alguerese.
:* Coalescing of unstressed vowels {{IPA|/a/}}, ({{IPA|/ɛ/}}) and {{IPA|/e/}} to [{{IPAlink|ä}} ~ {{IPAlink|ɐ}}] (transcribed as {{IPA|/a/}}) unlike the rest of [[Eastern Catalan]], which uses {{IPAblink|ə}} or even {{IPAblink|ɐ}} (transcribed as {{IPA|/ə/}}): ''aur'''a''''' ('aura') {{IPA|[ˈawɾə]}} (Eastern Standard), {{IPA|[ˈawɾa]}} (Algherese).
:* Unstressed {{IPA|/o/}} ({{IPA|/ɔ, o/}}) reduces to {{IPA|[u]}} like most Eastern Catalan dialects.

:Notes:
:* Algherese preserves {{IPA|/v/}} as a distinct phoneme from {{IPA|/b/}}, like [[Balearic dialect|Balearic]] and most of [[Valencian language|Valencian]]: '''''v'''iu'' ('he/she lives') {{IPA|[viw]}} (Algherese).
:* Mutation of intervocalic {{IPA|/d/}} and {{IPA|/l/}} to {{IPAblink|ɾ}}: ''Barce'''l'''oneta'' {{IPA|[bəɾsəluˈnɛtə]}} (Eastern Standard), {{IPA|[balsaɾuˈneta]}} (Algherese) 'Barcelonette'; and ''vi'''l'''a'' ('town') and ''vi'''d'''a'' ('life') are homophones in Algherese {{IPA|[ˈviɾa]}}.
:* Mutation of syllable final {{IPA|/r/}} (or {{IPA|[ɾ]}}) to lateral {{IPAblink|l}}, and the possible resulting group {{IPA|/r/}} + [[consonant]] is further simplified to {{IPAblink|l}}: ''fo'''r'''n'' {{IPA|[ˈfoɾn]}} (Eastern Standard), {{IPA|[ˈfol]}} (Algherese) 'oven'.
:* Depalatalisation of syllable final sonorants: lateral {{IPA|/ʎ/}} to {{IPAblink|l}}, nasal {{IPA|/ɲ/}} to {{IPAblink|n}}: '''''b'''all'' {{IPA|[ˈbaʎ]}} (Eastern Standard), {{IPA|[ˈbal]}} (Algherese) 'dance'; ''a'''ny''''' {{IPA|[ˈaɲ]}} (Eastern Standard), {{IPA|[ˈan]}} (Algherese) 'year'.

== Morphology ==
*The simple past is replaced by the present perfect (present of ''haver'' "to have" + past participle), possibly by Italian influence.
*The imperfect past preserves etymological -v- in all conjugations: 1st -''ava'', 2nd -''iva'', 3rd -''iva''  unlike modern Eastern and Western Standard Catalan, which use 1st -''ava'', 2nd -''ia'', 3rd -''ia'', a feature shared with the [[Ribagorçan dialect]].
*Large-scale lexical borrowing and [[calque]]s from [[Sardinian language|Sardinian]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]] and [[Italian language|Italian]]: nearly half of the vocabulary is not from Catalan.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Caracterització del lèxic alguerès |last=Corbera Pou |first=Jaume |publisher=University of the Balearic Islands |year=2000 |location=Palma (Balears) |oclc=807849256}}</ref>

== Differences from Standard Catalan ==
The Algherese variant is [[Eastern Catalan]], but it has many differences from [[Central Catalan]], with some of the most obvious ones as follows:

=== Vocabulary ===
[[File:Monument langue Alghero.jpg|thumb|266x266px|Monument to the ''unitat de la llengua'' in Alghero]]<!-- [[File:Bilingual sign in Alghero Sardinia.jpg|thumb|202x202px|A bilingual sign in Alghero]] -->
<!-- [[File:Bilingual street sign in Alghero old town.jpg|thumb|200x200px|Bilingual street sign in the old town of Alghero]] -->

The following abbreviations are used: m. (masculine), f. (feminine), pl. (plural), f. pl. (feminine plural), inf. (informal), f. (formal).
The following phrases were gathered from a Catalan translation set, but the common phrases in Algherese are similar:<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.omniglot.com/language/phrases/catalan.php|title=Useful Catalan phrases|website=www.omniglot.com|access-date=25 April 2017}}</ref>
