Landese (Maritime Gascon, or parlar negre, which means "black speech" in English) is a dialect of the Gascon language, spoken in the south-west part of Landes of Gascony, part of Chalosse and around Bayonne (Aquitaine, metropolitan France). Landese is an endangered dialect as are several other Occitan languages.
Reorganization of vowel phonemes
[edit | edit source]The main feature of Landese is its propensity to pronounce ⟨e⟩ as /ø/ instead of /e/, and both final ⟨-e⟩ and ⟨-a⟩ as /ə/. Thus there is a migration of phonemes from the general Gascon to new phonemes in Landese.
Works
[edit | edit source]The poet, novelist and essayist Bernat Manciet (1923 - 2005) remained faithful to the local Gascon speaking of his native Landes region where he lived a large part of his life.
The erudite Vincent Foix (1857 - 1932) has written a dictionary[1] on the Gascon from Chalosse and other parts of Landes.
