After years of ostracism, regional languages are now popular in France. Marseille is the French city using the most regional expressions.
Alsatian expressions top the ranking of the "most ridiculous" expressions. The French are increasingly in favor of implementing the teaching of regional languages and their expressions at school, 67% versus 33%. Only 8% of the 1,500 French people questioned had managed to find the right number of local languages. France has a linguistic heritage of great wealth with 75 languages recognized as “languages of France”
