ROMANCE: FRENCH & FRANCO-PROVENÇAL (SAVOYARD)

Описание: Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.

Savoyard dialect: Chablaisien: Habère-Poche

French is a Romance language that evolved from the Vulgar Latin spoken in the Roman Empire, specifically from Gallo-Romance in Northern Gaul. It is closely related to other langues d'oïl spoken in northern France and southern Belgium. French has become an official language in 27 countries and is widely spoken across about 50 countries and territories.

Franco-Provençal is a Gallo-Romance language originally spoken in parts of France, Switzerland, and Italy. It is distinct from neighboring Romance dialects but related to them. The language has several dialects, including Savoyard, spoken in areas of the historical Duchy of Savoy in France and Switzerland. The number of Franco-Provençal speakers has been declining, and it is classified as "nearly extinct" by Ethnologue and considered endangered by UNESCO. Today, Savoyard has about 35,000 speakers.
