Information About

Limousin Language




The first occitan documents are in this dialect, particularly the Boecis , written around the year 1000.

Limousin is used primarily by rural people over age 50. All speakers speak French as a first or second language. Due to the French Single Language Policy , it is not recognised by the government and might be disappearing. A Revivalist movement around the Félibrige and the Institut d'Estudis Occitans is active in Limousin (as well as in other parts of Occitania).
