The law 51-46 of the January 11th 1951 relating to the local dialect and language teaching known as law Deixonne was the first French law authorizing the teaching of the regional Langues of France.
It authorizes the optional teaching of certain regional languages: the Basque, the Breton , the Catalan and the Occitan.
Decrees will add to it thereafter the Corsica (decree 74-33 of January 16th, 1974), the Tahitien (decree 81-553 of May 12th, 1981) and the languages mélanésiennes (decree 92-1162 of October 20th, 1992) (the Ajië, the Drehu, the Nengone and the Paicî).
In addition, the decree n° 70-650 of July 10th, 1970 made it possible to take into account the regional languages in obtaining the baccalaureat.
It was named law Deixonne of the name of Maurice Deixonne which was then the rapporteur of the Parliamentary commission of the State education and which had presented the bill.
The law Deixonne is repealed today: it was replaced by the Loi Bas-Lauriol of 1975, by the Loi Toubon of 1994, then by the Code of education.
