    Corsica was settled by Etruscans and Ligures, and later people from Tuscany. The Corsican language itself is considered a dialect of Tuscan, according to what I’ve read. Sardinia on the other hand seems to have been settled by people from Sicily, Apulia and the Aegean, with less people from Central/Northern Italy than Corsica.

    But genetically both are very similar, so maybe it’s just a small difference.

    They were genetically isolated for a long time and are considered one of the genetic "islands" of Europe. Pretty interesting. I've also heard that Sardinian is the closest Romance language to Latin.

    Sardinia has been isolated for millennia, it has nothing to do with Sicilians and Calabrians or Apulians. Sardinians are more western mediterranean Iberian-like people. According to ancient fonts and to genetic studies, there were at least two main ethnicities in Sardinia, one related to the Megalithic cultures present in northern Iberia and southern France, and they probably spoke a language related to Basque, as we can see from the traces of a Basque-like substratum present in Sardinian language and toponyms. The second ethnicity was related to the Aegean / Anatolian world, in particular to the Cycladic civilization.


    During the prehistoric age both islands were populated by the same people, as discovered by genetic studies, the southern half of Corsica was even colonized by Sardinian Nuragic civilization, leaving many archaeological sites with remains of megalithic towers, totally similar to those present in Sardinia (Nuraghes). For all the Roman age both islands spoke the same dialect of vulgar Latin, called Insular Latin. Which eventually evolved in actual Sardinian and in ancient Corsican. However Corsican language started to diverge from Sardinian around IX-Xth century, when the island fell under the sphere of influence of the Republic of Pisa, which brought on the island its Italic Vulgar Latin, which merged with old Corsican creating the current Corsican language, which sounds like a sort of archaic Italian, but with its own vocabulary mostly derived from the old Insular Latin, with about 50% of it in common only with Sardinian and unknown in Italian.

    About the look of Corsicans, let's say that in the northern half of the island, (the area that had more contacts with the continent) in that area they are surely more similar to Tuscans in general, but in the southern areas of the island, beyond the mountains, they are similar to Sardinians.

    P.S.


    I've added some pictures of Corsican people to give you an idea of the average look. They are all Corsican nationalists.
