Planisphere
\n<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Sorosoro’s language planisphere<\/a><\/span> has recently been updated ! We’ve added some languages of Europe that were missing, such as the o\u00efl languages spoken in France (like Gallo<\/a> or Poitevin-Saintongeais<\/a>), as well as other languages we talked about in our most recent language sheets (like Kven<\/a> or Reunionese Creole<\/a>).<\/p>\n

If you know of one or several endangered languages that are not on our planisphere, please let us know so we can add them !<\/p>\n

Soropedia<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Talking about the o\u00efl languages, let’s go an meet one of them : Poitevin-Saintongeais<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Close to Gallo<\/a>, both geographically and linguistically, the Poitevin-Saintongeais language encounters the same issues as all of its sister languages :\u00a0 no official status, aging speakers and the fact of being considered as a bastardized version of French.
\nThis language also has a special feature that went against it in the past : it is made up of two main dialectal varieties than can be as similar as they are different from each other ! However, there are associations, media, musicians, storytellers, etc. who fight to save their “parlanjhe” as they call it !<\/p>\n

Soroquizz<\/strong><\/h5>\n
