Meanings
-
(dated, in linguistics) Romance language spoken in the south of France which is considered the origin of modern Provençal, also known as Occitan.
The old Provençal tongue, beloved of knights and troubadours, and forever associated in our minds with romance and chivalry, had become so debased by low singers of tavern songs, that its poetry was only “a riot of coarse speech, which had slain modesty in the ears of the young.”
1872, Edward Everett Hale, editor, Old and New, volume VI, page 471:
