Gallurese Dialect - Relation To Corsican Language

Relation To Corsican Language

Gallurese is classified by some linguists as a dialect of Corsican, and by others as a dialect of Sardinian. A great deal of similarity exists between Southern Corsican dialects and Gallurese, while there is relatively more distance from the neighbouring Sardinian varieties.

The Regional Government of Sardinia has recognized Gallurese, along with Sassarese as separate languages, distinct from Sardinian.

    Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)

    Hesitation increases in relation to risk in equal proportion to age.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
