Sardinia is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea,after Sicily,and one of the twenty regions of Italy. It is located west of the Italian Peninsula,north of Tunisia and immediately south of the French island of Corsica.
Sassarese is an Italo-Dalmatian language and transitional variety between Sardinian and Corsican. It is regarded as a Corso–Sardinian language because of Sassari's historic ties with Tuscany and geographical proximity to Corsica. Despite the robust Sardinian influences,it still keeps its Corsican roots,which closely relate it to Gallurese;the latter is linguistically considered a Corsican dialect despite its geographical location,although this claim is a matter of controversy. It has several similarities to the Italian language,and in particular to the old Italian dialects from Tuscany.
