Good morning, friends! My surname is “Peyré” (I live in Argentina). I did a little research and found out that, if I’m not mistaken, “pèira” means “stone/rock” in Occitan, and that “Peyré” is like a French adaptation of that word. I think they are both pronounced the same way in Occitan and French, respectively — could that be correct?
I wanted to know whether I’m mistaken or if these two words could be related in some way.
I'm only some 8h in on listening and reading and getting a grasp, but this is just magnifique.
Something about the phonetics i heard around is really finally covered by brazilian portuguese, with some scary similar cadance.
My dialect of brazilian portuguese heavily uses "Ó!" which sounds the same as Òc but it means look.
the part i don't understand in it is the french, so after finishing my french path i'm gonna try and learn occitan. sounds so nice.
been on most occitan regions before, just never heard the language.
I have trouble finding books but I find this language beautiful to read.
I’d also love to know if there’s any popular poems that are easy to find.
