Occitan language (окс. occitan або окс. lengua d'oc) is a Romance language with a long history. It is spoken in southern France, Occitan valleys in Italy and the Aran Valley in northern Spain. The Occitan language was the language of the troubadours — folk poets and musicians who traveled the south of Europe and were the first in Europe to embrace the ideas of the Renaissance.

Nobel laureate Frederic Mistral also wrote in this language.

Quotes

If the language of prayer and meditation in our valleys was French, the language of work had remained Occitan. I heard it everywhere where a wall rose, against the pure line of plumb lines, everywhere where the looms turned, unwinding the lightning of silk, everywhere where the steel of a pickaxe rang, where hobnailed shoes creaked, where men's voices rose.
In our old countries we are faithful to this ancient language. Let a traveler pass by and everyone will speak French in front of him. But let him move away a little and everyone will return to the old song. He will be the only one not to have heard it.

— André Chamson, "Cévenole Suite" ed. Plon, 1968, part "The four elements", chapter "The power of words", p. 506

But if grandmother forbade me to speak the langue d'oc, she often made mistakes herself and taught it to me without realizing it. In her little dark kitchen alone (...) how many objects did she know how to designate only with the words of the country! Although she wanted to use only French, the old Romance speech was constantly mixed into the fabric of her sentences. These sentences themselves obeyed a strange syntax. They sometimes resembled the sentences of the scriptures and the psalms, in their old construction of the 16th century, noble and bold, and sometimes they kept the movement of this language that grandmother wanted to forbid me.
