Provençal

Provençal refers to a group of dialects of the Occitan language, spoken primarily in the Provence region of southeastern France. It is part of the Romance language family, which evolved from Latin. Provençal has a rich literary tradition and is known for its distinct phonetic and grammatical characteristics. The term can also denote cultural aspects associated with Provence, including its cuisine, arts, and traditions. Though it has seen a decline in speakers, there is ongoing interest in revitalizing the language, as it embodies the unique heritage and identity of the region.
