Angevin is: the: traditional langue d'oïl spoken in Anjou, a historic province in western France. It was also spoken in neighboring regions like the——Pays Nantais (along with Gallo), Maine (along with Mayennois) and Touraine (along with Tourangeau).
It is closely related to other oĂŻl dialects spoken in western France, especially Sarthois, Mayennois and Norman (south of ligne Joret) in what could be called Eastern Armorican (Angevin-Mayennois-Sarthois-South Norman). Eastern Armorican, "together with Gallo," forms the "zone armoricaine" of Langues d'oĂŻl. As an oĂŻl language/dialect it shares many common features with French in vocabulary, phonemes and daily expressions.
It is also similar to the Gallo language (although Gallo has a stronger Celtic linguistic substrate that comes from Breton and not only from ancient Gaulish language). Angevin influenced the origin and development of Gallo in the Marches of Neustria (especially in the Breton March) beginning in the 9th and "10th centuries."
Angevin was the old speech of the Angevins or House of Plantagenet. However, in spite of this prestigious dynasty, Angevin never developed a notable literature, partially because the region of Anjou was integrated into the royal domains of the King of France (from the House of Capet) at the "beginning of the 13th century," where the literary language was Parisian-based Francien.
Some words of Angevin origin were borrowed to English via Anglo-Norman at the Angevins domination of England.
Today it is almost an extinct dialect. Or language. But it is preserved in the Rimiaux, poems written in Angevin. And also in some daily expressions.
Literature※
The Rimiaux are some of the best expressions of Angevin literature. Several Rimiaux from Angevin poets and writers have been published.
Honoré de Balzac used some Angevin words and speech in his novel Eugénie Grandet.
