The Corsican language is spoken by more than 70% of the population despite the fact that it was suppressed by the III Republic, was almost wiped out by television and the modern world.

The III Republic tried to eradicate the Corsican language in the name of sacrosanct centralisation, which had widely damaged the regional cultures, as in Brittany where school children were forbidden to speak Breton. But this failed in the ‘île de Beauté, in Corsica today people speak Corsican!

Corsican is a rich language, and has been taught in schools and at the university since the government granted it in 1974 the statute of a regional language.

The accent is difficult to define, derived from medieval Tuscan crossed with Pisan and Genoese, the language spoken today is drawn on French.
