Etymology

From Middle English [Term?], from Middle French provenceal, provençal, from Latin prōvinciālis.

Meanings

1. (broadly, dated, in linguistics, proscribed) The language spoken in Provence; Occitan.
   • “Mirèio” first appeared at Paris in September, 1859, having beside the Provençal a parallel French version of the author's own, or rather a prose translation divided into verses to correspond with the stanzas of the original. […] I must, however, hasten to disclaim any thing approaching to a critical knowledge of the rich and charming Provençal dialect,—or rather language, for it is more than a dialect. 1872, Frédéric Mistral, translated by Harriet W. Preston, Mirèio: A Provençal Poem, translation of original in Provençal, Preface, page x:
2. (qualifier:strictly) The Romance Occitan dialect of Provence.
   • It was the first time I had heard Provençal spoken – there seemed to be moss packed between every syllable. 1978, Lawrence Durrell, Livia (Avignon Quintet), Faber & Faber, published 1992, page 343:
