Corsican is a language spoken in the French island of Corsica in the northern mediterranean. It is a romance language close to the central Italian dialects particularly to the dialect of Tuscany, and there is considerable intelligibility between these languages. Corsican was an oral language and it was only at the end of the 19th century that it came to be written.  Since it was orally passed on from generations to generations it has many variations that vary from region to region particularly between the north and south of Corsica.
The language has diverse origins. At the time of the Roman Empire it was massively influenced by Latin. In modern times initially it was influenced by Tuscan, and then by French. In recent years, Corsican has been described as a distinct language within the western Indo-European family. But today, this language is on the verge of becoming extinct. A social and cultural revival of the Corsican language has been under way for some years now. If your ancestors spoke Corsican now is the time to learn the language to understand your roots. Also Corsican is a beautiful island with splendid monuments, citadels, watchtowers and museums scattered all over the island. Even though French is the official language in Corsica, a large number of Corsicans speak Corsican. Corsicans are generally very friendly and courteous people. By learning their language you will surely put a smile on a locals face and also you will be able to explore the island in a way that monolingual tourists might not be able to do. Corsica is an island of culture with an abundance of music, art and cultural festivals. Learning Corsican will enable you to experience the culture and music even better.
