 | | We also interviewed descendants of immigrants (who either could or couldn’t speak Occitan) in order to contrast their points of view with the autochthonous inhabitants. | | | Oddly enough, what has mostly remained of that time in the collective memory is the counter-reaction in favour of the use of Occitan and against what was considered an attack from the inside. | | | Remembrances of this fact invariably appear in the individual interviews conducted for the study. |

| | Euromosaic - Occitan (Provençal) in France |
| | An extrapolation of the findings of a survey conducted in Languedoc- Roussillon by Média-Pluriel in 1992 enables us to estimate that around three million people can hold a brief conversation in Occitan, 2_6 million use it from time to time and two million use it in the family and with friends. | | | Occitan is never used in the State administration or in the Government's dealings with citizens. | | | French is the only language that may be used in court, except where force of circumstances compels the court to hear evidence in Occitan (if a party or witness speaks only Occitan, which is virtually never the case nowadays). |

| | Courtiers wishing to curry favor with the new crown in Ile-de-France chose to speak French; bourgeoisie, entrepreneurs, and the burgeoning class of governmental functionaries also found French bilingualism to be in their best interest. | | | This set the stage for the association of French with privilege and power, as bourgeoisie, nobles and courtiers alike were drawn to French, the language of king and government; French also came to be the language of culture for the Occitan elite, lending words of politesse to the Occitan vocabulary. | | | Occitan language (also called Provençal or Languedoc) is a Romance language spoken by about 1,500,000 people in southern France. |

| | (A 2001 attempt by the French culture ministry to recognize regional languages was rejected by the country's constitutional council.) No one really knows how many people use Occitan regularly because the French government has never done a survey. | | | Then came the French Revolution, and then Napoleon, and a new constitution that declared France "one people, one nation, one language." Occitan all but disappeared. | | | Unofficial estimates suggest that several hundred thousand speak one or another form of Occitan as a private, or "intimate" language, at home and among close friends. |
