Linguistics teacher just told us to resume : "The french langage isn't complicated because of all the etymology, it's complicated because it wants to be" and I think that's beautiful

So yeah basically french is just here to piss you off ig

hi, i'd like to propose the addition of nissart/niçois and shuadit to the folder

to save some time, i found these two pdf's for nissart: ieoparis dot free dot fr/delo/Jean-Baptiste%20CALVINO%20-%20Nouveau%20dictionnaire%20ni%E7ois-fran%E7ais dot pdf cdn dot reseau-canope dot fr/archivage/valid/158852/158852-24303-30865 dot pdf nissart is offered in schools around the city of nice so there might be further resources to be found by looking through regional networks and so forth. unfortunately i can't find anything for shuadit but there seems to be a lot of literature of it looking at it in retrospect out there. thank you for the folder!!

Hello, sorry for the late reply! I couldn't access the first Nissart pdf for some reason but I added the other one and I even found a little chapter on Shuadit! Thank you for the contribution

I will keep my eyes open for more resources!

Lou paillassou

I just remembered another word that I noticed in Spanish while watching La casa de las flores: payaso. I didn’t know this word (my vocab is quite limited in Spanish) but I identified it easily because of its similarity to the nissart word paillassou (pronounced /pa’jasu/, and the Spanish one is pronounced /pa’ʝaso/).

Background: I grew up in Nice, in southeastern France, and the word paillassou can be an insult. Lou paillassou is a traditional character, a straw puppet, during carnival in Nice. Paillassou! is an insult used to designate a person without personality. Nissart is the local form of Provençal, which is a variety of Occitan spoken in Provence (nissart is written niçard in Provençal; in French we call it niçois, as the inhabitants of Nice).

Apparently, according to wiktionary, paillassou comes from palhasso in Occitan. Palhasso and payaso both come from the Italian word pagliaccio (/paʎ’ʎat.tʃo/), which means clown. Pagliaccio is derived from paglia, which means straw. I also found the Portuguese equivalent palhaço.
