Languedocien (French name, pronounced [lɑ̃ɡdɔsjɛ̃] ⓘ), Languedocian, or Lengadocian (Occitan pronunciation: [ˌleŋɡɔðuˈsja]) is an Occitan dialect spoken in rural parts of southern France such as Languedoc, Rouergue, Quercy, Agenais and Southern Périgord.

Other dialects spoken in these areas include: Gascon, Catalan, Limousin, and Auvergnat, as well as the unrelated Basque language.

Jules Ronjat gives three sub-groups:[4] Louis Alibert uses four sub-groups:[8] Domergue Sumien defines the categories thus:[7] In their supra-dialectal classification of Occitan, Pierre Bec and Domergue Sumien divide Languedocien into one or two supra-dialectal groups: With the absence of a linguistic census, it is difficult to obtain exact figures on the number of speakers.

The most recent global studies on Occitan say the number of speakers ranges from 500,000 to 700,000 for the language as a whole.

[11] UNESCO, which is the only organisation to treat Languedocien independently, estimates the number at around 500,000, and considers the language under serious threat.
