I’ve read þat Logudorese Sardinian is þe closest to vulgar Latin in terms of vocabulary and phonology, standard Italian second because of grammar, and Romanian 3rd because of Slavic vocabulary “pollution.” I’ve seen it claimed Logudorese Sardinian differs from Latin by only about 8% (Mario Pei, 1949), standard Italian by 12% (same source), and Ladin diverges by 20% (I haven’t been able to dig up a definitive source on Ladin).
You sometimes write very good comments and then you ruin 'em by using “þ”.
Please stop using that annoying letter since it can cause problems for reading, not only for the normal person that don’t know what the sound is but also because people with a SLD may have difficulties.
Ladin maybe. But niche compared to Romanian.

Reading thorn instead of th isn’t even a tenth as annoying as the haters claim.
I read “pan” because that letter is like a P and confuse me, it take me some seconds to realize
