In the Center College of Kentucky the Sardinian language is spoken thanks to Carbonia. There is a common thread that directly connects the capital of Sulcis to one of the fifty states of the USA and is represented by Marc Démont, a 45-year-old Frenchman, teacher of linguistic intercomprehension ( HERE THE INTERVIEW ): to his students, who in January they will also be in Carbonia in special view, in fact he teaches neo-Latin languages such as French and Portuguese using Sardinian as a "bridge" language. And to do this, he uses the teaching material that the teacher has been able to obtain from the language office of the Municipality of Carbonia for some time. He met him while surfing the internet and the managers and operators of the service, Nicola Merche and Enrico Putzolu, took care of completing this symbiosis. So, in fact, Carbonia took the chair at Centrale College in Kentucky.
Professor Démont is also in Sulcis these days: «Contrary to what my pupils thought - he says - Sardinian is a modern, lively, topical language, and also extremely practical as a sort of bridge for teaching the other Romance languages».
It is a language that the teacher uses as a mediation for the understanding of other neo-Latin idioms: «When we contacted him - say Nicola Merche and Enrico Putzolu - we were enormously surprised when we learned that he uses the didactic material that we provide them". Not only is Sardinian a bridge language but at this point there is a bridge between Sardinia and the United States of America.
