The inscription is also mentioned by a Sardinian linguist: http://www.pittau.it/Sardo/scrittura.html
I was a reading a research paper on the Tabellae defixionis in Roman Sardinia, I came across this inscription that the person who made the paper said is neither Latin nor Greek dated to be from 1 CE, found in the area of Orosei (ancient Fanum Carisi) the inscription reads:
“M() S() Petius neni gostali Fausti Arsati
Mosan_i nurgo onu tono be=
nis S[…] Coturis sonis eltibi nec Conatini
Coturis Capito ite bulsu ite ultibi nec
Mosan_i nurgo onu tono”
The words that aren’t Latin (not counting names of people) are: neni, gostali (also found in the name of Nuraghe), nurgo (with the root *nur- found in the Paleosardinian substrate), onu, tono, (perhaps) benis, (perhaps) sonis, eltibi, bulsu, eltibi, (perhaps) ite.
I was looking at the word endings [-us, -i, -o, -u, -is, -bi, -su] and noticed that they weren’t found in Basque or Etruscan (two pre-ie languages often hypothesized to be related to Paleosardinian) but were more similar to Proto-ie ones
I also created cognates for some of the words, but I would like to hear your opinion first.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
I won't be doing that today!

Where ever you left it 🤷♀️🤭
This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!

It was about a weak back.
It’s pronounced “Noel.”
After all his first name is No-vac
What, then, is Chinese rap?

Heard they've been doing some shady business.
Nothing, it just waved
Him: I can explain everything!
(It's his best joke yet I think)
But nobody ever mentions his sister, Onya, who invented the starter pistol.

I came across this inscription, from the area of the ancient city of Fanum Carisi (Sardinia) dated to be from first century C.E.
I don’t even know if it’s really in Latin, I tried looking at a Latin translator and I wasn’t able to find most of the words, I’m here to ask if at least the grammar in this inscription is Latin, and if it is I would like for you to help me decipher it:
“ M() S() Petius neni gostali Fausti Arsati
Mosan_i nurgo onu tono be=
nis S[…] Coturis sonis eltibi nec Conatini
Coturis Capito ite bulsu ite ultibi nec
Mosan_i nurgo onu tono. “
Tl;dr: is the language in this inscription Latin with non-Latin lexical influence or non-Latin with Latin influence.
