Savoyard (endonym: savoyârd) is a Franco-Provençal dialect of the Gallo-Romance family.
It is spoken in some territories of the historical Duchy of Savoy, nowadays a geographic area spanning Savoie and Haute-Savoie, France and the Canton of Geneva, Switzerland.
Several subdialects of Savoyard exist that exhibit unique features in terms of phonetics and vocabulary.
Savoyard has been the subject of detailed study at the Centre de dialectologie of the Stendhal University, Grenoble, currently under the direction of Michel Contini.
