With the amount of Bengalis, Nigerians, and Senegalese in your country... can you do that?
Can you enjoy relaxation, pizza, and a siesta?
Last time I was in Italy I was accosted with every single step I took by foreigners trying to sell me junk.

I mean, I know the answer, the former for Campidanese and the latter for Logudorese and Nuorese. But which one is jaja?

The phonetics isn't really conservative. Sardinians have those wonderful retroflex Ds and Ts. Like in Caste<dd>u. Sicilians have them, too. Doesn't exist in Latin. Plus Classical Latin had nasals!
In Late Latin consonantal V and occasionally B went to /β/. Sardinian (and Spanish) still have that sound but the result was, though fortition, that a lot of the descendant languages have weird results.
Like bocca in Italian is vocca in Neapolitan but as you climb the Apennines you'll find Neapolitan speakers who say mocca.
Anyway, if you compare the languages of Italy look at where Bs and Vs compare. You'll find results that differ frazione to frazione.
M, b, p are all pronounced near to each other in the mouth - so you get later changes, too.
It's not one thing in particular. It's more of an overall, Sardinian preserves a lot of Latin Latin forms.
My Latin is decent and I know Neapolitan and I can understand Sardinians. The average Italian doesn't understand you at all.
