	Euromosaic - Corsican in France
		Corsican is a Romance language, close to the central Italian dialects and spoken on the French island of Corsica in the northern Mediterranean, off the French Riviera coast.
		Corsican is very rarely demanded as a job qualification, except, as we have seen, for some posts in the regional administration and in education.
		The reasons for this are economic (decrease in the active population as a result of the continual emigration of Corsican speakers, passage from a traditional to a modern society), social (emphasis on French as one of the keys to social advancement) and demographic (job shortage in rural areas leading to gradual depopulation of the countryside).

	Corsica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The mountains are cooler and wetter, and home to the Corsican montane broadleaf and mixed forests ecoregion, which support diverse forests of oak, pine, and evergreen deciduous trees, with vegetation more typical of northern Europe on the highest peaks.
		Two endangered subspecies of hoofed mammals, the mouflon (Ovis aries musimon) and Corsican red deer (Cervus elaphus corsicanus) inhabit the island; the Corsican red deer is endemic.
		In a referendum on July 6, 2003, a narrow majority of Corsican voters opposed a project from the government of Jean-Pierre Raffarin and Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy that would have suppressed the two départements of the island and granted greater autonomy to the territorial collectivity of Corsica.

	An introduction to the Corsican language.
		It is occasionally possible for the public to use Corsican in its dealings with the administration and in court, because the administrative and legal officials themselves speak the language, though never in their official capacity.
		An active campaign by the consultative Economic and Social Council of the Corsican Assembly has led to the creation of an increasing number of public signs in Corsican and dual sinage on the roads (roads are one of the already devolved responsibilities of the regional government).
		Not surprisingly, the use of Corsican is at its highest in connection with traditional singing and in cultural groups (70-80% of those participating), hunting and fishing (60-70%), whereas in church it's down to 11% and in night clubs 4%.

		Other ports on the island remained blocked and the atmosphere was tense as thousands of Corsicans took to the streets to stage protests in the afternoon.
		Members of the Corsican workers’ union had occupied the "Girolata" ship since Wednesday, blocking the port to other craft carrying cargo to the island and preventing the departure of tourists, some of whom spent the night in a gymnasium.
		Corsican separatists would like independence from the French government, which they say does not respect the scenic island’s culture or language or provide enough economic help.

	Rousseau: Constitutional Project for Corsica
		The Corsicans have not yet adopted the vices of other nations, but they have already adopted their prejudices; these prejudices are what will have to be combated and destroyed in order to create good institutions.
		The Corsicans have improved greatly since becoming free; they have added prudence to courage, they have learned to obey their equals, they have acquired virtue and morality, and all this without the use of laws; if they could continue thus, I would see little need to do more.
		The Corsicans in particular are naturally endowed with very distinct characteristics; and if this character, disfigured by slavery and tyranny, has become hard to recognise, it is also, on the other hand, because of their isolated position, easy to re-establish and preserve.

	Mammals » Goats » Corsican Main Page
		Generally, Corsican Goats are quite small, and weigh between 30 and 40 kilograms in the wild.
		The milk of Corsican Goats is extremely high in protein and fat percentages and typically 150 liters of milk in a 150-lactation period may be expected.
		Corsican Goats were developed on the Isle of Corsica from local indigenous goats, which were improved in the 1970's with French Alpine Goat genes.

	Corsican polyphony
		Corsican music is far from being widely broadcast on the airwaves.
		Don Kent's documentary "Corsican Voices" concerning this group and their album "Intantu", which was broadcast the May 12th 2002 on Arte (Channel 5), has been published on DVD (Editions Montparnasse).
		It is reassuring to see that after more than 20 years devoted to the defense of the Corsican culture, the group still renews itself and grows richer by opening itself to the world and to humanity.

	Language Use Survey: Corsican (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		While 78% of respondents had a high level of understanding of Corsican, the figures dropped to 66% of respondents who are fluent in the language.
		Over 70% claimed that Corsican was the main language used between their parents and half claimed that it was the only language used.
		Thus, although the use of Corsican seems to be in decline, especially among the younger generation, and more people are speaking Corsican and French, rather than purely Corsican, the Corsican language seems to have pervaded more into the use of French, rather than vice versa.

		Napoleon set foot in France for the first time in the winter of 1778, a thin, sallow nine year-old, accustomed to the warmth of the Mediterranean, suddenly alone on the windswept plains of northern France.
		The Corsican Assembly declared Bonaparte and his entire family "traitors and enemies of the Fatherland, condemned to perpetual execration and infamy." Bonaparte no longer had the right to live in Corsica.

	CORSICA THE CORSICAN LANGUAGE
		Corsican is a romanic language of the italian-romanic group.
		Under the heading of curiosities, we have to notice that it exists in Gallura, in the north of Sardinia, a dialect which is closely related to the one of Corsica of the South because of a population of corsican shepherds at the beginning of the 17th century.
		Conversely linguistic islands which were formerly set up, constitute an originality in very Corsica: the dialect of Bonifacio, language imported from Liguria in the 13th century by the genoese settlers, and from Greek, introduced by the settlers from the region of Laconia, Maina in Greece, settled near from Carghjese in the 17th and 18th centuries.

	Corsican language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Scientists are still in doubt whether Corsican should be referred to as an Italian dialect, a French dialect or a separate language which is close to Italian, Occitan, Catalan and French.
		Anyway, Corsican is much alike Italian, but as the island has belonged to France for about two centuries, it acquired many French traits.
		Maybe it used to be so, but nowadays the development of Corsican writing and speech apart from official Italian encourages the formation of the single Corsican language.

	Corsica
		One of the more curious episodes of Corsican history was the attachment of Corsica to the English crown, albeit with a certain degree of autonomy.
		The Anglo-Corsican kingdom is still seen as a "protectorate" (the spontaneous answer of a Corsican I asked), in contrast to French rule, both before and after, where repression of nationalists was the order of the day.
		Some Corsican nationalists also think that the British may have given them a better deal (more autonomy) than the French have ever given them because of the greater distance between Corsica and London - a totally hypothetical theory of course.

		The Corsican assassination theory first came to light when the BBC television series The Men Who Killed Kennedy aired in 1988.
		In their first meeting, after hours of prodding from Rivele, David finally stated that he was aware there had been a conspiracy to kill President Kennedy.
		Of course, David was very reluctant to give Rivele the names of the three men, on the basis that two of the three men were still alive, and that the Corsican Mafia has a code of silence and vendetta, meaning David would be killed if he revealed the names.
