This paper deals with the various classifications of Corsican dialects, both in terms of their relationship with Sardinian and Italo-Romance dialects, particularly Tuscan, and from an internal point of view. The starting point is Falcucci’s 1875 classification, which proposes a fundamental bipartition between Cismontano (north) and Pumuntincu (south), to which he adds Capo-Corsino. Following this publication, Guarnerio examined Corsican dialects in relation to those of Sardinia, in particular Gallurian and Sassarian. The bipartition proposed by Falcucci was a milestone but was later questioned by Bottiglioni (1926-1927) and Melillo (1977). Today, thanks to the work of Dalbera-Stefanaggi (1991, 1991, 2002), we have a partition into five dialectal areas (including Gallurian), to which Sassarian is added.
Classifications of Corsican fall within the framework of Romance Linguistics and Dialectology.
