Basically, from what I know of Corsican and the fact that the Corsicans 
themselves say that Italian is close to their language, I'd say the Corsican 
sound changes look like a combination of Sardinian sound changes (-us became -u 
in Corsican too, and Latin u usually stayed u in Corsican in all positions) and 
Italian sound changes (c and g - but also quite a few other letters :) - 
have "hard" and "soft" versions identical to Italian ones for instance) but is 
much closer to Italian than to Sardinian, grammatically and phonetically 
speaking (or at least to Central Italian dialects).

Unfortunately, I couldn't find much on Corsican on the web :((

It takes a straight mind to create a twisted conlang.
