Around 1500-1000 BC, groups of peoples who apparently were displaced from their homelands in the Eastern Mediterranean suddenly descended on many nations according to their ancient histories.  The Egyptians and Libyans fought an invading Sea People the Egyptians called the "Peloset," who were defeated and resettled and later known as the Philistines in what became known as "Palaestina" (today's Palestine) by the Egyptians, under Ramses the Great's son Merneptah (died in 1203 BC) as a buffer between them and the Hittites/Assyrians/etc.  The pottery and other implements of the original Philistines and other Sea Peoples is strongly related to that of Greece at the time. Ramses the Great and his successors had to deal with various Sea Peoples, including one called the "Sherden."

The Sherden where the cultural instigators or conquerors of the Nuragic Civilization that ruled most of Sardinia from around 1500 BC to after 500 BC.

Afterward, Sardinia was owned or controlled by the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Roman Empire, Spanish, various Italian City States. and finally Italy.

Consequently the several languages and dialects spoken by Sardinians are NOT Italian, which is basically Modern Latin.
