    Default How the Occitan language sounds to you?

    It's spoken in my region, especially in southern and eastern parts.

    It sounds like Italian to me. Maybe not exactly standard Italian but that is the closest thing that comes to mind.

    It's like Catalan or an altered French.

    Non piedmonteis italians always confuse this language for french


    This is the geographical diffusion of the language

    Occitan and Catalan are close.

    How close are Piedmontese and Catalan?

    Piedmonteis, until 1200, was an occitane dialect, but after it's heavy lombardized, in the same way catalan was "castlillized" by spanish dominators.

    They're definitely closed, but quite differents now.


    BTW...spoken piedmonteis

    No, it sounds Catalan but some words resemble mispronounced French and Occitan is the former speech of southern France, now surviving only in pockets.
