      Usage notes

      [edit]
      • The first meaning is technical and widely used in linguistic literature, while the second, non-technical, is older and predates modern scientific linguistics. The latter is reinforced by the influence of English, but technical literature prefers the expression français régional (or "any language" + régional).

          • 1565, Abrégé de l'art poétique français, by Pierre de Ronsard
            Tu sçauras dextrement choisir & approprier à ton œuvre les vocables plus significatifs des dialectes de nostre France, quand ceux de ta nation ne seront assez propres ne signifians, ne se faut soucier s'ils sont Gascons, Poiteuins, Normans, Manceaux, Lionnois ou d'autre pays, pourveu qu'ils soyent bons, & que proprement ils expriment ce que tu veux dire, sans affecter par trop le parler de la court, lequel est quelques-fois tresmauvai, pour estre le langage de Damoyselles et ieunes Gentils-hommes qui font plus profession de bien combattre que de bien parler.
