Angevin is the traditional

langue d'oïl spoken in Anjou, a historic province in western France. It was also spoken in neighboring regions like the Pays Nantais (along with Gallo), Maine (along with Mayennois) and Touraine (along with Tourangeau
).

It is closely related to other oïl dialects spoken in western France, especially

ligne Joret) in what could be called Eastern Armorican (Angevin-Mayennois-Sarthois-South Norman).[1]
Eastern Armorican, together with Gallo, forms the "zone armoricaine" of Langues d'oïl. As an oïl language or dialect it shares many common features with
phonemes
and daily expressions.

It is also similar to the Gallo language (although Gallo has a stronger Celtic linguistic substrate that comes from

Breton March
) beginning in the 9th and 10th centuries.

Angevin was the old speech of the

Francien
.

Some words of Angevin origin were borrowed to English via Anglo-Norman at the Angevins domination of England.[2]

Today it is almost an extinct dialect or language but it is preserved in the Rimiaux, poems written in Angevin, and also in some daily expressions.[3][4][5]

Literature

The Rimiaux are some of the best expressions of Angevin literature. Several Rimiaux from Angevin poets and writers have been published.

Honoré de Balzac used some Angevin words and speech in his novel Eugénie Grandet.[6]
