langue d'oc
Provençal speech family
Langue d'oc is the medieval name for the Romance languages of southern France, named for their word for "yes" (oc) as opposed to the northern langue d'oïl (which became modern French).
The term survives in Languedoc, the region where it was spoken.
Occitan is the modern name for these dialects: troubadour poetry was composed in langue d'oc.
