Lorrain is a language (often referred to as patois) spoken by now a minority of people in Lorraine in France, small parts of Alsace and in Gaume in Belgium. [3] It is a langue d'oïl.
It is classified as a regional language of France and has the recognised status of a regional language of Wallonia, where it is known as Gaumais. [2] It has been influenced by Lorraine Franconian and Luxembourgish, West Central German languages spoken in nearby or overlapping areas.[ citation needed]
Features
Linguist Stephanie Russo noted the difference of a 'second' imperfect and pluperfect tense between Lorrain and Standard French. [4] It is derived from Latin grammar that no longer is used in modern French.
Variations
The Linguasphere Observatory distinguishes seven variants :
- Argonnais ( Argonne, Woëvre, eastern French Ardennes, Meuse, Meurthe-et-Moselle)
- Longovician ( Longwy, Longuyon, northern Meurthe-et-Moselle)
- Gaumais ( arrondissement of Virton, cantons of Montmédy and Stenay in Meuse and the canton of Carignan in Ardennes)
- Messin ( Metz, Metzgau and all of French-speaking Moselle)
- Nancéien ( Nancy, southern Meurthe-et-Moselle)
- Spinalian ( Épinal, central Vosges)
- Deodatian ( Saint-Dié, Hautes-Vosges)
After 1870, members of the Stanislas Academy in Nancy noted 132 variants of Lorrain from Thionville in the north to Rupt-sur-Moselle in the south, which means that main variants have sub-variants.
