Occitan - occitan
With the end of the Roman Empire the Latin of Gaul developed in two different ways. In the north, under the influence of Germanic Frankish dialects, it became the Langue d'Oïl and in the south it evolved into the Langue d'Oc, oïl and oc being the respective words for yes. During the Middle Ages both produced great literature, especially poetry. The central dialect of the Langue d'Oïl became the French language. Today the word Occitan can mean the southern language in general, or more specifically, as in this website, the central dialect, with Gascon being to the west, Auvergnat to the north and Provençal to the east. The Aranese of the Pyrenees valley Val d'Aran is the southernmost form of Gascon.

9. Paire nòstre que siès dins lo cèl,
que ton nom se santifique,
10. que ton rènhe nos avenga,
que ta volontat se faga
sus la tèrra coma dins lo cèl.
11. Dona-nos nòstre pan de cada jorn,
12. perdona-nos nòstres deutes
coma nosautres perdonam
als nòstres debitors
13. e fai que tombèm pas dins la tentacion
mas deliura-nos del mal.
9 Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
Matthew 6
