Poitevin-saintongeais

poitevin-saintongeais It does not exist more… it from now on is replaced by the Saintongeais and the poitevin classified both " languages of France" with whole share as well as the other languages of oil.

The poitevin-saintongeais , or parlanjhe , wanted to be a Langue Romance, of the family of the Langues of oil, but marked by origins occitanes, spoken in the Poitou-Charentes, the the Vendée, in the Pays of Retz located at the south of the Loire-Atlantique and of Maine-et-Loire, in the north of the the Gironde, in some communes of Indre-et-Loire, High-Vienna and the Dordogne, all in all in the old provinces of the Poitou and the Saintonge, in France. But this language, vision of intellectuals, did not have speakers and nobody recognized himself there. Today, Poitevin and Saintongeais are separated, making it possible Saintongeais to fully develop the influence to speak to them in the Québécois, the acadian and the Cajun.
