Romance (transitional) language variety, closely related to Sardinian and especially Corsican / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sassarese (local name Sassaresu or Turritanu) is a Romance language. It is related to the Corsican language and the Sardinian language. It is also related to Gallurese.
