Arpitan

Not to be confused with Provençal which is a dialect of the Occitan language. Franco-Provençal (Francoprovençal) or Arpitan or Romand (Vernacular: ; ; ) is a Romance language with several distinct dialects that form a linguistic sub-group separate from Langue d'Oïl and Langue d'Oc. The name Franco-Provençal was given to the language by G.I. Ascoli in the 19th century because it shared features with French and Provençal without belonging to either. Although the name is well established, there is some dissatisfaction with it. The neologism Arpitan is becoming a popular name for the language and the people who speak it.
