Curious, it really does sound like a 'happy medium' between the rather strong (to my ears) eccentricities of the surrounding major tongues. I liked the very first song best.
Yes it's a very musical language...sounds very medieval...the perfect mediation between italian/french/catalan/spanish...it's sufficient see the geographical position.Originally Posted by Osweo

Definitely one of the best romance/latin language. It's a shame that, except for northern Italy and Spain, it isn't tutelated by law.

It is spoken in Calabria too, the Valdesi that (tried) to excape the Inquisition made many villages in the northen part, some of them still speak occitan.

Sounds like a blend of Catalan (primarily), Italian and French.

Never have heard it before, but to me it sounds like either Hispanicized Italian or Italicized Spanish.
Nice in any case.

The language has about 4 million of native speakers and other 12 million of non-native speakers.
Yes, it's definitely one of the best romance languages...see the historical area of diffusion and you could understand why sounds french, catalan and italian

Hmmm, I'd personally say that those 4 million of native speakers are unfortunately a bit too optimistic...
