Occitan (English spelling)

Japanese: オクシタン(英語表記)occitan
Occitan (English spelling)
It means Occitan. It is one of the Romance languages ​​spoken in southern France, and is also called Provençal. In medieval France, Oi (northern France) and Occitan (southern France), both derived from Latin, were spoken, but Occitan quickly established itself as a literary language due to the 12th and 13th centuries when it produced many troubadours. Later, as France was unified and modernized under the leadership of the north, Oi (northern France) developed into French, while Occitan fell into the status of a dialect and slang.

Japanese:
オック語の意。南フランスで行われるロマンス語の一つで,プロバンス語Provençalとも呼ばれる。中世フランスには,ともにラテン語から派生したオイル語(北部)とオック語(南部)が行われていたが,12,13世紀吟遊詩人が輩出したため,オック語はいち早く文芸語としての地位を確立した。その後フランスの統一と近代化が北部の指導権の下で進んだために,オイル語がフランス語に成長したのに対し,オック語は方言,俗語に転落した。
