ThePaleo-Corsican language is anextinct language (or perhaps set of languages) spoken inCorsica and presumably in the northeastern part ofSardinia (corresponding to today's historical region ofGallura) by the ancientCorsi populations during theBronze andIron Ages. The scanty evidence of the language, which comes mainly fromtoponymy, would indicate a type ofPre-Indo-European language or, according to others,Indo-European, withLigurian andIberian affinity.[3]
Antoine Peretti, claiming the presence of different linguistic areas, ranks as Ligurian some suffixes appearing in Corsican place names, like -asco, -elo/-ello, -ate/-ati and -inco.[4]
