In conclusion, the Sardinian language, while still viable overall, continues to be negatively affected by pervasive and all-encompassing Italianization, and thus continues its agony, albeit at a slower pace than before thanks to the commitment of those who, in various contexts, promote its revaluation in a process that has been defined by some scholars as "linguistic re-Sardization". Still, factors such as the intergenerational transmission, which remain essential in the reproduction of the ethnolinguistic group, are severely compromised because of Italianization. Whatever the fate of the Sardinian language might be, it shall constitute the substratum of the one prevailing now, Italian, in a number of linguistic components specific to the island.
