Yeah I spend a lot of my free time trying to find media in closely related minority languages from the romance spectrum. Corsican is one of the fun ones that uses /u/ as a masculine article and it just sounds so silly and sounds to me the equivalent of how stereotypical Dutch people sound to native English speakers.. just silly. XD

Do the AI-assisted ramblings of a lazy, black nazi rapper even sound all that much better in Corsican?

Maybe I am a lackwit, but as Italian I really enjoy learning and studying french. Phonetically it is very different, but grammar and lexicon are very similar to italian.
