Mmm, dunno this... then the ortography, as that of many Italian
(langs)dialects isn't settled down and regular. Indeed I adopted the <ch>
since I have a CD of one of the greatest Italian singers ever (De André) who
sings a Sardinian translation of 'Hail Mary', and the text uses them.
Probably <c> and <g> are used for Italian loans.
