Occitan Dictionary

Occitan, also known as lenga d’òc by its native speakers, is a Romance language spoken in southern France, Monaco, the Occitan Valleys of Italy, and the Val d’Aran in Catalonia. These regions are collectively known as Occitania. Occitan is also spoken in the southern Italian province of Cosenza, primarily in Guardia Piemontese. In Cosenza, it is referred to as Gardiol, which is considered a separate Occitanic language. Some linguists include Catalan as a dialect of Occitan, as the linguistic distance between Catalan and certain Occitan dialects, such as Gascon, is comparable to the distance between different Occitan dialects. Until the late 19th century, Catalan was considered a dialect of Occitan, and it remains its closest relative today. Occitan boasts a particularly rich lexicon. Lo Panoccinari, regarded as the most comprehensive dictionary ever published in this language, records over 250,000 unique words, with more than 310,000 including dialectal variations.

Disclaimer/Transparency:

This dictionary is a self-published, experimental project based on the NGSL (New General Service List) corpus, created as an informational resource rather than an authoritative source of translations. Users should verify entries with qualified translators or native speakers, as machine translation is limited by context sensitivity, synonym substitutions, polysemy, and the difficulty of accurately rendering colloquial, idiomatic, or lesser-documented languages. Some translations may be approximations, phonetic renderings, or affected by misspellings, non-standard orthographies, or colonial linguistic influence. All entries were produced using dedicated translation software, not general-purpose AI, and occasional typographical or interpretive errors may occur. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy and cultural sensitivity, though any perceived inaccuracies or insensitivities are unintentional. This dictionary aims to support language preservation and learning for students, researchers, and enthusiasts, and readers are encouraged to adapt or expand upon it. Though not professionally published, it represents an ongoing effort toward linguistic accessibility, with proceeds supporting future editions and related projects.
