About Irish Language
According to Wikipedia.org, Irish is the official language of Ireland but there are Irish speakers in UK, USA, and Canada too. According to the census in 2016, around 1.76 million people speak Irish. There are around three main dialects of the Irish language. It involves Munster (An Mhumhain), Connacht (Connachta) and Ulster (Ulaidh). This language is written in Ogham alphabets while it also features Gaelic script. If we talk about the modern Irish it is written with a combination of Latin words. The spellings don’t reflect the pronunciation of various alphabets. For example ‘bia’ is known as food in English. This can change in some other dialects especially in the Munster pronunciation. There are a lot of irregularities seen in both spellings and pronunciations.
About Corsican Language
According to Wikipedia.org, The Corsican language is spoken by about 341,000 people in the world. The native speakers live in Corsica while some others live in Paris, Marseilles, Bolivia, Canada, and Cuba. However, it is surprising that this language doesn’t have any status in Corsica. French is the official language of Corsica. There isn’t any daily and weekly newspaper available in the Corsican language. Only a few French-language papers make use of this language to publish articles at times. Corsican is used for the official headlines only. Some political and cultural associations make sure that something in the Corsican language is printed in the magazines. The regional TV and radio station makes use of the Corsican language in several bulletins. Apart from that this language is used at all levels of education.
