Gascon language

Gascon is a Romance language spoken primarily in southwestern France, particularly in the Gascony region. It is part of the Occitan language group, sharing similarities with Catalan and Provençal. Gascon has distinct pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar features that set it apart from standard French, though they are related. Historically, it was widely used in local communities for daily communication and cultural expression. Today, Gascon is recognized as a regional language, with efforts to preserve and promote its use amid the dominance of French. It reflects the area's unique cultural heritage and linguistic diversity.
