Franco Provençal Puns

Is it a group of dialects of French/d'oil that are together only for convenience or is it pretty undisputably a language of its own?

IMPORTANT: I only decided to write and post this discussion prompt because some people believe the answer to this question to be yes and even compared France to what China has been doing and I want you guys to talk about it.

First cultural genocide is generally defined as the intentional acts of destruction of a culture of a specific nationality or ethnic group. Cultural genocide and regular genocide are not mutually exclusive. However, be aware that it is a scholarly term used mainly in academia and does not yet have a legal definition in any national or international laws.

Second, the French Republic has multiple regional languages and non-standard indigenous dialects within its modern borders known colloquially as patois. The modern standard French language as we know it today is based on the regional variant spoken by the aristocracy in Paris. Up until the educational reforms of the late 19th century, only a quarter of people in France spoke French as their native language while merely 10% spoke and only half could understand it at the time of the French Revolution. Besides the over 10 closest relatives of French (known as the Langues d'oïl or Oïl languages) spoken in the northern half of France such as Picard and Gallo, there are also Occitan in the southern half aka Occitania, Breton, Lorraine Franconian, Alsatian, Dutch, Franco-Provençal, Corsican, and even Catalan and Basque.

He says, totally straight-faced, "hay is dead grass," and runs off.

Can anyone provide me with the differences between and a history of regional languages in France? I'm an L2 French speaker and am really interested.

Specifically, what are the differences between the Gallo-Romance languages (standard French, Occitan languages, les langues d'Oïl (idk the English term), Franco-Provençal languages, and Catalan)? How did they evolve alongside one another? What are their main influences? How have they influenced one another?

If anyone could give me a rundown of the key points, that would be great. I really want to develop a greater understanding of regional variants of French but it's very tricky to get started!

And then you will all be sorry.

No it doesn't.

Now it’s syncing.

He replied, "Well, stop going to those places then!"

I swear the channel had 2 videos on the Arpitan/Franco-Provençal/Savoyard/Valdôtaine language. But now I can't find any of them.

Any idea what happened or where I can access them?

I said, “That makes two of us.”

He's doing better currently.

And conducting himself properly.

Me: Can we change the subject?

My wife: Okay. More chores around the house need to be done by you.

Who buys gummy worms hoping they’d taste as close to real worms as possible?

He's currently assembling his cabinet.

Big deal. I have had a Canon printer for years.

Because it'll blow his cover
