Champenois

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Champenois is a language spoken by a minority of people in Champagne in France and in Wallonia in Belgium. It is one of the langues d’oïl. It is classified as a regional language of France, and has the recognized status of a regional language of Wallonia.

The language of Chrétien de Troyes is marked by Champenois traits, but the earliest literature to survive consciously written in Champenois is noted from the end of the 16th century. Le Bontemps de Carnaval de Chaumont was updated and republished in 1660 - the language used contrasts the French spoken by the king's messengers with the Champenois of the local inhabitants. A feature of 18th century Champenois literature was the noëls (Christmas chants) which weaved contemporary and local references into pious texts.
