[Blog Post] Peter Bakker on the VMS

I struggle with medieval French (even though I can read modern French better than modern German, I find medieval German easier than medieval French). I find it especially difficult to read some of the southern French medieval dialects.

The northern family of dialects "langue d'oïl" are all closely related to modern "standard" French. Southern dialects (occitan, provençal, ...) are not old French/middle French.
