History of Corsican
Corsican evolved from Tuscan Italian during the Republic of Genoa's rule. Despite becoming French in 1769 (Napoleon was born there the same year), Corsican persisted as the primary language until French education policies dominated. Today Corsican has protected status and is taught in schools, though French remains dominant.
