==== Northern Corsican ==== The Northern Corsican macro variety (''Supranacciu'', ''Supranu'', ''Cismuntincu'' or ''Cismontano'') is the most widespread on the island and standardised as well, and is spoken in North-West Corsica around the districts of Bastia and Corte. The dialects of Bastia and [[Cap Corse]] belong to the Western Tuscan dialects; they being, with the exception of [[Florentine dialect|Florentine]], the closest to standard Italian. All the dialects presenting, in addition to what has already been stated, the conditional formed in {{lang|co|-ebbe}} (e.g. {{lang|co|(ella) amarebbe}} "she would love") are generally considered ''Cismontani'' dialects, situated north of a line uniting the villages of [[Piana, Corsica|Piana]], [[Vico, Corse-du-Sud|Vico]], [[Vizzavona]], [[Ghisoni]] and [[Ghisonaccia]], and also covering the subgroups from the Cap Corse (which, unlike the rest of the island and similarly to Italian, uses ''lu'', ''li'', ''la'', ''le'' as definite articles), Bastia (besides i > e and a > e, u > o: {{lang|co|ottanta}}, {{lang|co|momentu}}, {{lang|co|toccà}}, {{lang|co|continentale}}; a > o: {{lang|co|oliva}}, {{lang|co|orechja}}, {{lang|co|ocellu}}), Balagna, Niolo and Corte (which retain the general Corsican traits: {{lang|co|distinu}}, {{lang|co|ghjinnaghju}}, {{lang|co|sicondu}}, {{lang|co|billezza}}, {{lang|co|apartu}}, {{lang|co|farru}}, {{lang|co|marcuri}}, {{lang|co|cantaraghju}}, {{lang|co|uttanta}}, {{lang|co|mumentu}}, {{lang|co|tuccà}}, {{lang|co|cuntinentale}}, {{lang|co|aliva}}, {{lang|co|arechja}}, {{lang|co|acellu}}).
