Page "Corsican language" Paragraph 15
from
Wikipedia
The Roman exile, Seneca the younger, reports that both coast and interior were occupied by natives whose language he did not understand ( see under Prehistory of Corsica ).
There was probably a substratic language that is still visible in the toponymy or in some words, for instance Gallurese zerru ' pig '.
The occupation of the island by Vandals about 469 AD marks the end of authoritative influence by Latin-speaking Romans ( see under Medieval Corsica ).
The documents of the early Christian church concerning Corsica are in Latin, but they are only communications between church officials ( see under Ajaccio ).
