背景
It belongs to the Indo-European family. Corsu is the traditional native language of the Corsican people, and was long the sole language of the island, which was acquired by France in 1768. The Corsican language has been influenced by the languages of the major powers taking an interest in Corsican affairs; earlier by those of the Medieval Italian powers: Tuscany (828-1077), Pisa (1077-1282) and Genoa (1282-1768), more recently by France (1768-present). Corsican has been recognized as a language by the French government. Speakers also use French but many are not fluent in it. There is a movement for bilingual education.
