Corsican (corsu) is a language and group of dialects spoken in the island of Corsica (France), and as a variety in the Gallura region of Sardinia (Italy).

Divided into Northern Corsican, spoken in the Bastia (Bastia), Corte (Corti) area, and Southern Corsican, spoken in Sartene (Sarté), Porto-Vecchio[?] (Porti-Vechju). The dialect of Ajaccio (Aiacciu) has been described as in transition.
