No, you are wrong, Arpitan is not 'franco-based' and it does not belong to the 'Oil' group. It has been recognised as a group in itself: the 'francoprovencal' group, which we are trying to rename 'arpitan group' because the first is confusing. We are recognised as a different group although we are in between the Oc and Oil groups.
The Swiss German dialect is up and kicking. We are dying out: the young don't speak it.
: Autonomy, sense of community, of solidarity, of celebrating, of relating to nature and its rythms.
The interest for those languages means that people are asking themselves existential questions about the future, so, as in the Renaissance, they first investiage the past for inspiration. Let's re-think the future in something else than economical terms!
- In Switzerland, the teaching of reto-rumantsch is supported every year with 4 million dollar of Swiss taxes (language spoken in the canton of Grisons / Graubünden, in the south-east of Switzerland.
The revival of interest for minority languages has to be understood in a renewed interest for traditions. A feeling of insecurity towards the future and a lack of philosophical perspectives related to the meaning of modern life is pushing us all back to our sources
We would like to get closer to the people supporting the Oc language. Their fight is our fight. We have only been recognised by the Italian state - which also recognise as 'independant' the region of the Valley of Aosta where it is spoken. However, in Switzerland and in France we are not recognised as a national language and our survival is not suported by the state.
Arpitan does not belong to the Oc group because in that region all around Mont Blanc which has its own language: Arpitan, we pronounce "yes" in a variety of ways - oua, oué, vwéi...
About groupings:
Our Arpitan group has got problems to unite; we are separated by valleys and we have always been autonomous regions and villages. Our pronunciations of the same "Arpitan" language (academically known as "francoprovencal") are quite diverse.
Que òc! Arpitan-Occitan-Catalan que formen ua mena de cadena e que ha de monde enter eth que parlen Francés, Italian e Espanhòu , un ligam e ua riquèssa.
Il ressemble un peu le dialecte tessinois...

Sorry for the long reply, btw (passion...).
NB: 'Arpitan' - no 'i' after 't'

Cartoons must be made in Arpitan for the kids and interesting shows, such as nature shows, translated into Arpitan, Occitan,etc
