Corsican (also known as Corsu or Lingua Corsa) is a Romance language primarily spoken on the island of Corsica in France and in northern Sardinia in Italy. It's closely related to the Tuscan dialect of Italian and considered an Italian dialect. While French is the official language of Corsica, Corsican is still spoken by a significant portion of the population, especially in rural areas. Corsican is considered an endangered language by UNESCO, but there are ongoing efforts to revitalize and preserve it through education and cultural initiatives.

Corsican has two main dialects: Northern Corsican (spoken in the Bastia and Corte areas) and Southern Corsican (spoken around Sartene and Porto-Vecchio).

Bilingual education in Corsican and French is available in some schools, and Corsican is a mandatory subject in pre-school and primary school.

In an April 2013 survey, the Corsican language had a number of speakers between 86,800 and 130,200, out of a total population amounting to 309,693 inhabitants. 28% of the overall population was able to speak Corsican well, while an additional 14% had a capacity to speak it "quite well."
