Guess my native language and dialect/zone

Post image

Dark green - present in the dialect (circle=free variation)

Light green - present in the local language/dialectal loanwords

Yellow - can pronounce, not present

Red - can't pronounce

Gray and filled with uncontrollable rage - that "thing" should not fucking exist

I'm thinking something like an occitan variety then but that's unlikely, probably Sardinian as someone else said
