As I understand it, the inland and coastal dialects of Sardinia are mutually
incomprehensible to each other, let alone speakers of standard Italian.

Others: Friulian (round Venice), Slovenian (in the eastern Alps), Arabic (by
thousands of immigrants all over the place), Serbo-Croat (by Gypsies).

  Si je comprends bien, M. Marchi nous informerait donc qu'il est
parfaitement le'gal de parler francais dans t.s.c.i. 

  Germanophones sont aussi bienvenus. Quant aux Albanais ... qu'ils
s'en retournent chez eux, ces immigrants.

  Merci M. Marchi.

P.S.: Mes grands-prents maternels sont des pie'montais du Val d'Aoste,
cela devrait donc m'autoriser doublement a` utiliser le francais
dans t.s.c.i. Double merci M. Marchi !!

	Bonjour, Monsier/Madame giacomet, je ne sais pas, c'est ca votre nome ?
	J'ai italien mais je parle aussi francais.

	But i speak english and italian too.
	I think that you have all right to write in french in t.s.c.i and
	that every people can, sometime, speak your own language.
	I like very much to write in english, even if my english is not
	very well, but, sometime, I like very very much to post a news
	in italian language in an italian (t.s.c.i) group.
	I hope that you can understand this problems.
	Ciao, Marco
