Sassarese is a diasystem of the Sardinian and Corsican languages, spoken in some areas of the north-western part of Sardinia, in Italy, such as Sassari and a few other places, such as Porto Torres and Sorso. It's regarded as a corsican-sardinian language because of Sassari's and Porto Torres historic ties (and neighborhood) with Corsica, and despite the heavy sardinian influences (especially in the vocabulary) it still keeps its Corsican roots which closely relate it to Gallurese, which is regarded as a Corsican dialect despite the geographic location, although this fact has been causing a deep controversy.
