An occitan scripta in the kingdom of Navarre in the Middle Ages (XIII-XVI siècles) : formation and functioning

In the districts of peninsular Navarre during the XIIIth and XIVth centuries appeared an Occitan scripta whose use was linked to the settlement of Francos, a population with special privileges and coming from the north of the Pyrenees. The development of this language outside Occitan territory gave it characteristics immediately recognizable, and although it keeps features connected to Languedoc, it shares particularities with other varieties of the diasystem, Catalan included, as well as it borrows some from Navarro-Romance in contact with which it has evolved.
