Occitan language

or Provençal language

Romance language spoken in Occitania, a region of southern France.

The 1.5 million people of this region use Occitan dialects in everyday
life and French as their official and cultural language. The term langue
d'oc is based on the use of the word oc for "yes." The name Provençal
originally referred to the dialects of the Provence region, used by
medieval troubadours and as a standard and literary language in France
and northern Spain in the 12th–14th centuries. Today's major dialects
are those of Limousin, Auvergnat, Provence, and Languedoc. Gascon,
spoken in southwestern France and usually classified as an Occitan
dialect, is sometimes considered a distinct language. Occitan is closely
related to Catalan and, despite recent French influences, has more in
common with Spanish than with French.
