Characteristics

In constant reduction, which is tenderly called " patois" spoken in the regional park about Pilat is part of the Forézien . The commune of Véranne and all its hamlets belong to its linguistic field. The First World War marks one of the great retreats of this idiom. It is quasiement extinct today and is expressed in the form of regional expressions and by an accent. The arrival of the media and mixings of population (work in the cities of the valley of the Rhone) increasingly important do not cease reducing this particularism. Possibly: grammar, sentences, pronunciations Some current expressions:

mâtru: small, child
baronter: to thunder
drève: brushes makes faggots
