 These Corsi shared the island with the "Tibulati", who dwelt at the extreme north of Sardinia near the ancient town of Tibula.Further research is still needed to answer the question of the origin of the "Corsi" and their alleged relation with today's Corsicans.According to several scholars, they may have been a group of tribes affiliated to the ancient Ligures, like the Ilvates in the neighboring Ilva island (today's Elba in Italy), and may have spoken the old Ligurian language.
