Tio and Tia - The same in Spanish and Greek

>Spanish too has deviated from the original Latin phonological system. Spanish "j" and "g" sounds seem to indicate some Arabic phonological influence.<

Some scholars would argue that the "soft" or "hawk" pronunciation of: J & G of -spanish- are due to vulgar latin. Nevertheless, Spanish is conversative to Latin in the phonological sense, also in grammar & some vocabulary. Moreover, on the other hand, I feel that Sardinian (logudorese) is perhaps the closest to Classical-latin's phonology. Italian to me would be second. The Italian language lacks the pronunciation of their -s-, whence they pronounce them as -z-. Out of all the romance languages -Logudorese/Spanish- are the most conversative in
pronouncing their -s- (like Classical-latin).

Example: Tres

As you may see, it sounds relatively close to spanish and closely resembling latin.^


ALSO,

Sardinian is also placed by itself when it comes to perserving the hard pronunciation of -ce/ci-;

for example; kentu, kelu,

As you can see, logudorese (third selection, nuoro) is conversative to Latin in pronouncing the hard =ce/ci=. Although, spanish and Italian, etc perserved pronouncing words like=ca,co,clo,cle,clu & cla=
