Occitan (English pronunciation: /ˈɒksᵻtən, -tæn, -tɑːn/;Occitan: [utsiˈta];French: [ɔksitɑ̃]), also known as lenga d'òc (Occitan: [ˈleŋɡɔ ˈðɔ(k)]; French: langue d'oc) by its native speakers, is a Romance language. It is spoken in southern France, Italy's Occitan Valleys, Monaco, and Spain's Val d'Aran; collectively, these regions are sometimes referred to unofficially as Occitania. Occitan is also spoken in the linguistic enclave of Guardia Piemontese (Calabria, Italy). However, there is controversy about the unity of the language, as some think that Occitan is a macrolanguage. Others include Catalan in this family, as the distance between this language and some Occitan dialects (as the Gascon language) is similar to the distance among different Occitan dialects. In fact, Catalan was considered an Occitan dialect until the end of the 19th century.
Today Occitan is an official language in Catalonia, where a subdialect of Gascon known as Aranese is spoken in the Val d'Aran. Occitan's closest relative is Catalan. Since September 2010, the Parliament of Catalonia has considered Aranese Occitan to be the officially preferred language for use in the Val d'Aran.

Montage vidéo réalisé à partir de voix pré-enregistrées pour expliquer les différences entre la graphie du français et celle de l'occitan, exemples à l'appui. Si la prononciation est à peu près correcte, l'intonation est (forcément) surprenante : les "lecteurs" parlent l'occitan selon le cas avec l'accent espagnol, italien, français, voire portugais ou russe. Au delà de l'intonation ("accent"), ça donne un aperçu à peu près objectif de la façon dont se prononce l'occitan. Par ailleurs, l'Occitanie dépendant administrativement de la France (principalement), de l'Italie et de l'Espagne, il n'est pas rare de nos jours de croiser des locuteurs occitans avec "l'accent" français, espagnol ou italien ! ce qui fait que, paradoxalement, cette vidéo propose des intonations de l'occitan tel qu'il ...
Someday has come
the one which you foretold
full circle vengeance
speaks of a sarcastic past,
returning to its origin,
now you bear the mark
the liar
whispers softly into your ear
drowning in your own words
returning to a day,
you never thought would come
descent into ignorance
taken one step too far
the mark applied to others
is the one you see you are
all the empty promises
can’t remove the scar
buried in lost meaning
you have nothing left
drowning in your own words
fallen from your place of power
pleading for forgiveness
humbled upon your knees
only now it’s apparent,
you’re the carrier of the disease
pleading for forgiveness
