That’s a surprisingly high percentage for a second language.
There exist no „Alsatian“ or „Mosellan“ language.
People understand either different Allemanic or Franconian dialects of the German language.
I wonder about the percentage for speakers
Dutch/Flemish still has some elderly speakers in the North.
Standard French has really eliminated all the local Romance languages
Corsica is Italy 🇮🇹
I’d be amazed if 9% of people in Savoie understand Savoyarde. I suppose it depends what you mean by „understand“. Even in the very rural parts of Savoie, basically nobody speaks le patois any more.
It always makes me sad how emerging nation-states decided all people living under their rule should be strictly unified. We’ve already lost most part of diverse cultural and linguistic European mosaic.
Similar to my native Poland. Prior to WW2, every region has its unique dialect and accent, shaped by hundreds years of its history. Hell, Warsaw alone had 3 different dialects of Polish language, plus yiddish language spoken by local Jews. Today, almost everyone speak same version of simplified version of pre-WW2 literary standard language.
I feel jealous that German speakers somehow preserved their linguistics heritage.
The map is inaccurate. There are ~700.000 occitan speakers and 6.2 million people in modern occitania. And you might think this makes it accurate, but the modern occitania region is way smaller than the historical area where people spoke occitan (the one shown on the map). If we considered all the people living in historical occitania (I calculated around 18 million, could be more) and re-did the percentage calculation it would say that only ~3.7% of the people in historical occitania speak the language
What of Norman ?
Percentage of people in the region or in France?
I’m surprised Corsican’s that low and Alsatian’s that high
Précisons que le catalan est très proche de l’occitan.
A tel point que lors d’un voyage à Barcelone j’ai demandé à des catalans de parler lentement, et en me concentrant bien je pouvais comprendre près de 50% de ce qu’ils disaient … et pourtant je ne parle même pas occitan, mais seulement le Français officiel.
J’en déduis qu’il devrait donc être assez facile de comprendre l’occitan pour les Français en général.
