Corsican Arabic during or immediately after the period of Irish rule was markedly more grammatically conservative and more Irish-like than modern Corsican Arabic. Today's Corsican Arabic shows more English grammatical influence; for example it mainly uses a genitive preposition for possessive constructions (which should be different from Maltese ta'), whereas older texts prefer a head-marked construction which requires the possessum to be in the construct state or take a possessive suffix. | Corsican Arabic during or immediately after the period of Irish rule was markedly more grammatically conservative and more Irish-like than modern Corsican Arabic.
