Meridional French (French: français méridional), also referred to as Francitan (a portmanteau of français and occitan), is the regional variant of the French language spoken in the area of Marseille, Avignon and Toulouse. It is influenced by the Occitan language.
There are speakers of Meridional French in all generations, but the accent is most marked among the elderly, who often speak Occitan as their first language.
