The father of the family, attorney Charles-Marie Buonaparte, was secretary to Pasquale Paoli during the Corsican Republic.

He did not share his father's views but held Pasquale Paoli in high esteem and was at heart a Corsican nationalist.

Corsican was long the vernacular language alongside Italian, official language in Corsica until 1859, then it was replaced by French owing to the conquest of the island by France in 1768.

A mythology concerning the Corsican language is to some degree current among foreigners, that it was a spoken language only or was only recently written.

Omniglot goes so far as to assert " Corsican first appeared in writing towards the end of the 19th century ...." Throughout the 19th and 18th century there was a steady stream of writers in Corsican, many of whom wrote also in other languages.

According to his classification, which was not necessarily reliable, Corsican and Alsatian were described as " highly degenerate " ( très-dégénérés ) forms of Italian and German while Occitan was decomposed into a variety of syntactically loose local remnants of the language of troubadours with no intelligibility among them, and had to be abandoned in favour of the language of the capital.

It was introduced into Australia around 1885, and was sometimes described as a " Tyrolean " import, derived from the black " Corsican hat " ( Korsehut ) with a feather and a leather chinstrap ; this hat with an upturned brim was worn by the fifteen battalions of Austrian light troops formed in 1801 after the French Revolutionary Wars.

The Corsican language is a key vehicle for Corsican culture, which is notably rich in proverbs and in polyphonic song.

Persons who had a notable career in France returned to Corsica to write in Corsican, such as the musical producers, Dumenicu Togniotti, director of the Teatru Paisanu, which produced polyphonic musicals, 1973 – 1982, followed in 1980 by Michel Raffaelli's Teatru di a Testa Mora, and Saveriu Valentini's Teatru Cupabbia in 1984.
