(/ˈdɔɪ(l) / dɔːˈiːl/

French: [lɑ̃ɡdɔjl]

English: oïl languages

.

(the langues d’oïl are a ‘dialect continuum’ that includes ‘standard french’and its closest ‘auto-chthonous relatives’ historically spoken in…)

the northern half of’ France,

*southern ‘belgium’*

*the ‘channel islands’*

.

(these belong to the larger ‘gallo-romance languages’, which also include the historical languages of ‘east-central france’ and western Switzerland (Arpitania), southern France (Occitania), portions of northern Italy, and the Val d’Aran in ‘spain’)

.

(linguists divide the ‘romance languages’ of ‘france’ – (and especially of ‘medieval france’) – into 3 geographical subgroups…)

the first 2 are langues d’oïl / d’occitan

(both named after their words for ‘yes’ (oïl / òc, respectively))

(…and the 3rd is ‘franco-provençal’ (or ‘arpitan’))
