A forum member mentioned looking for Corsican resources. I think this is an interesting query, given that it's not a language with very many, so am starting a collaborative thread to see what resources forum members can find for this language.
Chime in with suggestions, please.
Learning:
Assimil Corsican.
A list of resources, including textbooks, for Corsican. It also links to conjugations, etc.
A Lingua Corsa. A small online course, in French.
General background information, including small sites aimed at learning, and material in Corsican:
A list of Corsican-language-related websites.
A page about "A pratica è a grammatica", by Jean-Marie Comiti, 1996.

Oh, just wanna mention that, I went to Paris last weekend and had the opportunity to visit Assimil shop located along Rue de Pyramid in Paris. As a matter of fact, I had expected a much bigger store, but instead, I was 'greeted' by a really small shop...
Anyway, I bought a set of Corsican Assimil course, and it's definitely worth the money. At least, I can listen to how Corsican sounds like :) Perhaps for those who are interested to buy Assimil products too: the Assimil set that I bought in Paris costs EURO 64.90, but I found the same edition of Assimil set costs CHF 170 (which is about EURO 145 in Switzerland). Hence, it's advisable to buy directly from Amazon...

I came across this site recently regarding the certification in corsican language awarded by the university of corsica (oversees B2, C1 and C2 levels) and the corsican academy (oversees A1, A2 and B1 levels), and thought about sharing with those of you who are interested in this beautiful language (information in french though):
