Occitan comes from OC for OUI, The rest of the country said OIL. Occitan is very similar to Catalan, but there are many doubts as to whether or not the OCCITAN spoken today is similar or not to the Original one. Some Influences from Provencal, Catalan, Spanish, Modern French, Nissard and Italian were introduced by the Grammarians of New Occitan in the last Century! The law which prohibited Occitan was from the French National Hero "Jules Ferry" and is from 1904! Somehow it made France united, so they say! Germany or Italy have a lot of dialects, French ones are dead :( Hi!

I was in Perigord this past summer, not quite sure if that's Occitania or not. I found the people surprisingly easy to understand. Oc and non.

What you say about what has been done to make Occitan disappear happened with Breton too, actually it happened with all the minority languages of France, which is for me what France should be the most shameful of, as they're still carrying the same policy but with "sweeter" methods now, such as changing the consitution so that they can't sign the European Treaty about minority languages... France is the only European country that didn't sign it. I don't speak Occitan myself but I understand most of it, especially southern dialects such as Languedocian, Gascon, etc... and I can speak Catalan, which comes from Occitan. I'd like to answer you in French as it would make it easier for me and probably for you too but I want people in here to understand what I write, so that they know a little bit more about the "country of human rights" ;) Anyways, if you're doing that to defend your language, keep on fighting!!
