Mentonasc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mentonasc [meⁿtu'naʃk] (in Occitan), also called Mentonasque or Mentonnais (in French), is an Occitan subdialect, traditionally assigned to the Occitan language (Provençal Niçard dialect) but it shows some transition features to Ligurian (Northern Italian) dialects spoken near Ventimiglia, Sanremo (intemelio) and the Upper Roya Valley (royasque/roiasc).

It is spoken by a minority in the city of Menton and surrounding villages.
