Re: 100 hundreed words in french, occitan, provencal and east lombard: a comparison
What they call Occitan there I imagine that it is Lengdocian. Notice how it changes with Provençal. Gascon too changes, especially in the non use of initical fricativeness which, like in Castilian ("Spanish") it is by influence of the Basque/Aquitanian language.
Thus, femne (woman) would be hemne. Also, I see that they use vau and valada for valley. Val is also correct in Occitan.
