	Judeo Provencal
		In general, when people speak of the Provençal language, they are referring to the speech of a large area, perhaps a third of France, extending from the Alps to the Pyrenees.

		The Judeo-Provençal language is important not merely because of the existence of a unique prayer but because it was a very early example of a tradition of translating the prayers into a local language.

		Soulan lies in right smack in the middle of the Gascon- Languedocien isogloss bundle, and in a very small area affected by some Couserannais sound changes, which makes the dialect about as stigmatized as it can be.

		On the other hand, the current generations of speakers are very proud of their language, helpful and happy to be recorded, and have a very sharp understanding of language politics.
