Angevin is the traditional ''langue d'oïl'' spoken in Anjou, a historic province in western France. It was also spoken in neighboring regions like the Pays Nantais (along with Gallo), Maine (along with Mayennois) and Touraine (along with Tourangeau). It is closely related to other ''oïl'' dialects spoken in western France, especially Mayennois and Norman (south of ligne Joret) in what could be called Eastern Armorican (Angevin-Mayennois-South Norman) but there is no native common name for this ''oïl'' language.〔Encyclopédie Bonneteau : Anjou, Maine-et-Loire, avril 2010, 320 p.〕 As an ''oïl'' language or dialect it shares many common features with French in vocabulary, phonemes and daily expressions. It is also similar to the Gallo language (although Gallo has a stronger Celtic linguistic substrate that comes from Breton and not only from ancient Gaulish language). Angevin influenced the origin and development of Gallo in the Marches of Neustria (especially in the Breton March) beginning in the 9th and 10th centuries. Angevin was the old speech of the Angevins or House of Plantagenet, but in spite of this prestigious dynasty, never developed a notable literature partially because the region of Anjou was early integrated in the royal domains of the King of France (from the House of Capet) at the beginning of the 13th century, were the literary language was Parisian based Francien. Some words of Angevin origin were borrowed to English via Anglo-Norman at the Angevins domination of England.〔A.-J. Verrier et R.

I et II, 1908, consulter en ligne (tome I), consulter en ligne (tome II)〕 Today it is almost an extinct dialect or language but it is preserved in the Rimiaux, poems written in Angevin, and also in some daily expressions.〔Mots et expressions des Patois d'Anjou, Petit dictionnaire, Petit Pavé, 116 p.

I et II, 1908, consulter en ligne (tome I), consulter en ligne (tome II)〕 == Literature == The Rimiaux are one of the best expressions of Angevin literature. Several Rimiaux, from angevin poets and writers, have been published. Honoré de Balzac used some Angevin words and speech in his novel Eugénie Grandet.〔Honoré de Balzac, Eugénie Grandet, vol. 5, édition dite du Furne, 1843〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angevin dialect」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
