'''Corsican Arabic''' is the Irish-influenced Arabic variety spoken in [[Verse:Irta|Irta]], in our Corsica (natively ''əl-KoRSəKə'' [ɜ̟lˈqʰɔɾˁsˁʌqʰʌ], Irta Irish ''an Chorsac''). In Irta it's called Corsican (natively ''əl-KoRSəKī'' [ɜ̟lqʰɔɾˁsˁʌˈqʰɪː] or ''ət-taNGə KoRSəKījə'' [ɜ̟t̪ˈt̪ʰæɴɢʌ qʰɔɾˁsˁʌˈqʰɪːjɜ̟] (''taNGə'' is from Irish ''teanga''); in Irish ''an Chorsacais''). Its speakers are predominantly Catholic.
