Corsican Language

Corsican is a Romance language primarily spoken on the island of Corsica, which is part of France. It is closely related to Italian, particularly the Tuscan dialect, but has unique elements influenced by French and native Sardinian languages. Corsican has its own distinct grammar and vocabulary, reflecting the island’s history and culture. While it has official status in Corsica, French is predominantly used in administration and education. Efforts are ongoing to promote Corsican language preservation and teaching, as it represents a vital aspect of Corsican identity.
