Occitan, Provençal, Catalan

It's a phonetic transcription of an Occitan dialect to make it look impossible. It's speaks of the "patuè" or "patois", which is a way the French have to refer to great languages that aren't official in their territories. The intention is clearly negative.

Un système graphique a été codifié par les linguistes du Centre de la Culture Savoyarde, dont le siège se trouve à Conflans, au dessus d'Albertville en Savoie. C'est cette "graphie de Conflans" qui j'ai écrit au-dessus.

Principe: On n'écrit que les sons prononcés, on ne prononce que ce qui est écrit.

That system looks weird.

If it's savoyard, it's not occitan but franco-provençal

But very different is the origin of German

I understood. In a Latin language you would find the word germanus like this:

germanus 1:

germanus 2:

Because they have a different origin.

In french when we speak about someone who's form Germany we say "un allemand", when we speak about a cousin (example the son of my father's sister) we say "un cousin germain" if it's a girl it will be "une cousine germaine".

We never say les "germanis" we all the time use the word "les allemands", if i remember well my spanish courses spanish use a similar term.

In Spanish:

German = Alemán
