Wiktionary:About Franco-Provençal
The following is a partial guide to the handling of Francoprovençal on Wiktionary. The language's name may hereafter be abbreviated to FP.
Writing systems
[edit]Description
[edit]Semi-phonetic orthography devised by the Bureau régional pour l'ethnologie et la linguistique.
Sources
[edit]Description
[edit]Semi-phonetic orthography devised by the Groupe de Conflans.[note 1]
Description
[edit]Partly etymological and partly diaphonemic orthography proposed by Dominique Stich as a written standard for FP. This is used for lemmatization on Wiktionary for lack of another option.
Sometimes a FP lemma on Wiktionary corresponds to an alternative form in Stich that has been judged a better overall fit for the regional realizations. For instance ârbro (as opposed to Stich's preferred âbro) has been chosen as a compromise between the regional types [-rb(V)r-], [-br-], and [-rb-].

Phonetic transcriptions
[edit]FP pronunciations on Wiktionary are given in phonetic form, not phonemic. Due to the language's high degree of regional variation, it is inadvisable to add any phonemic transcription without first determining the specific phonology of the (micro-)dialect in question.
All transcriptions are either taken from a linguistic atlas or carefully made by an editor on the basis of a cited audio recording. Most of the atlases use pre-modern phonetic notations, an overview of which is provided below.
Rousselot–Gilliéron notation
[edit]Devised in the late nineteenth century by Jean-Pierre Rousselot and Jules Gilliéron. Its use in the monumental Atlas linguistique de la France made it the predominant notation in French dialectology for most of the twentieth century.
Vowels
[edit]
The IPA approximations used on Wiktionary are placed in parentheses.
The “core” vowels are ⟨i u e œ a ė o ꭒ⟩, which stand for [i̞ y̞ e̞ ø̞ ä ə o̞ u̞] respectively. These form the basis for all other vowel notations.
Quality
[edit]- ◌̀ indicates a relatively open vowel; ◌́ a relatively close vowel.
- Example: ⟨è⟩ stands for [ɛ], the vowel one degree lower than ⟨e⟩ [e̞].
- Exceptions: ⟨à⟩ and ⟨á⟩ stand for front [a] and back [ɑ] respectively (not *[ä̞], *[ä̝]).
- Vowel superpositions indicate intermediate qualities.
- Example: ⟨eͥ⟩ stands for [e̝], the vowel between ⟨e⟩ and ⟨i⟩.[note 2]
- ◌̇ indicates mid-centralization (only in the TPh).
- Exception: since ⟨ė⟩ is reserved for schwa, the mid-centralized counterpart to ⟨e⟩ is instead written ⟨ë⟩.
Other properties
[edit]- ◌̆ indicates a relatively short duration; ◌̄ a relatively long duration.
- Example: ⟨ū́⟩ stands for [yː].
- Duration is rarely specified for ⟨ė⟩ (schwa) and never for weakly articulated vowels.
- ◌̃ indicates nasalization.
- Example: ⟨è̃⟩ stands for [ɛ̃].
- A somewhat wavier tilde, for which there is no unicode symbol, indicates partial nasalization.[note 3]
- Subscript is used to indicate weak articulation.
- Example: ⟨ₑ̇⟩ stands for [ə͉].
- ◌̩ indicates stress.
- Example: ⟨á̩⟩ stands for [ˈɑ] or [ˌɑ].
- It is commonly omitted in oxytones, i.e. where French speakers would naturally expect it.
Differences in transcription style
[edit]- Shows a strong bias towards the “classical” French vowels ⟨é è á à ò ó⟩. Intermediate or indeterminate ⟨e a o⟩ are uncommon, except in the context of weak articulation.
- Shows a strong tendency to mark vowels as either short or long, leaving few with intermediate or indeterminate duration.
- Shows much the same bias towards “classical” French vowels as the ALF.
- Vowel duration is rarely marked.
- The top two vowel heights are not distinguished: ⟨í⟩ is transcribed as ⟨i⟩, etc.[note 4]

[edit]Notes
[edit]- ^ See here for an overview.
- ^ More precisely, the vowel between ⟨é⟩ and ⟨ì⟩. Acute and grave accents are frequently omitted in superpositions.
- ^ In IPA this can be represented as ⁽◌̃⁾.
- ^ Due to this ambiguity, the TPh's ⟨i u ꭒ⟩ are transcribed on Wiktionary as [i y u], as opposed to the [i̞ y̞ u̞] used to transcribe the same symbols in the ALF and ALLy. (See the table above.)
- ^ The DFF places the local parler bugiste under “bressan” for convenience.
- ^ An overview is available here.
