[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 533931, member: 2844"]Related cultures on both sides of the border as well. I learned in my Occitan language class that the names of the two languages were based on the way they said 'yes'. So 'oc' in the langue d'oc, or language of oc, and oïl (oui) in langue d'oïl, or language of oïl. Both oc and oïl/oui meaning yes. Langue d'oïl became what is now known as French, the spelling of the word oïl became oui.[/QUOTE]
