Corsican (corsu or lingua corsa) is an Italo-Dalmatian Romance language spoken and written on the islands of Corsica (France) and northern Sardinia (Italy). Corsican was long the vernacular language alongside Italian official language in Corsica until 1859: afterwards Italian was replaced by French owing to the acquisition of the island by France from Genoa in 1768.
