But Corsu is one of the closest to Latin of all Romance languages, so much so that I can almost read it. Yet in pronunciation, it appears to be more like Italian. You may well be right!
Hrm....as much as I'd like it to be true, I can't get it to work. Here are the conjugations for the appropriate verbs in Corsu:
