User:Fnt7/Vivaro-Alpine dialect
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vivaro-Alpine (also provençal alpin, Northern Provençal, dauphinois alpin, gardiòl) is a UNESCO Atlas of World's languages in danger severely endangered dialect of the Occitan language found in the Occitan Valleys of northwestern Italy (Piedmont and Liguria), the Dauphiné region of France and further inland,[1] and Guardia Piemontese in the south of Italy.[2][3][4] The subdialects of Vivaro-Alpine include vivarodaufinenc (vivaro-dauphinois), aupenc (alpenc, Alpine), gavòt (gavot), cisalpenc (alpenc oriental).[5] It is classified as an Indo-European, Italic, Romance, or Western-Romance language. The language is preserved through the Institut d'Estudis Occitans (Occitan Studies Institute), which was founded in 1945 by a group of Occitan and French writers. The name “Vivaro-Alpine” was coined by Pierre Bec in the 1970s. Though the language has 300 speakers total left,[4] the culture around the language is rich and present in music and in festivals such as La Baìo Di Sampeyre.[6] There are lasting records of music written in the dialect.
