Noun [French]

IPA: /pa.twa/ Audio: LL-Q150 (fra)-LoquaxFR-patois.wav Forms: patois [plural]
Etymology: Inherited from Middle French patois (“local dialect”), from Old French patois (“incomprehensible speech, rude language”), alteration (due to influence of the suffix -ois in words relating to nationalities and languages) of earlier *patoi, a deverbal of patoier (“to gesticulate, handle clumsily, paw”), from pate (“paw”), from Vulgar Latin *patta (“paw, foot”), from Frankish *patta (“paw, sole of the foot”), from Proto-Germanic *pat-, *paþa- (“to walk, tread, go, step”), of uncertain origin and relation. Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *(s)pent-/*(s)pat- (“path; to walk”), a variant of *pent-/*pat- (“path; to go”). Cognate with Dutch pat, Low German pedden (“to step, tread”). Related to pad, path.

He would say, Eh bé! moussu, sès sagé?, as in the lower Languedoc, and Onté anaras passa? as in the Alps' lowlands, and Puerte un bouen moutou embe un bouen froumage grase, as in the upper Dauphiny.

Ceci plaisait beaucoup au peuple et n’avait pas peu contribué à lui donner accès près de tous les esprits. Il était dans la chaumière et dans la montagne comme chez lui. Il savait dire les choses les plus grandes dans les idiomes les plus vulgaires. Parlant toutes les langues, il entrait dans toutes les âmes.\n(Describing Bishop Myriel) Having been born in Provence, he easily became familiarized with all the [Occitan] dialects of the South. He would say, Eh bé! moussu, sès sagé?, as in the lower Languedoc, and Onté anaras passa? as in the Alps' lowlands, and Puerte un bouen moutou embe un bouen froumage grase, as in the upper Dauphiny. People loved this, and it had helped him greatly to get close access to all kinds of temperaments. Whether he was in a cottage or up in a mountain, he would feel at home. He knew how to speak of the highest things using the lowliest vulgar expressions. By speaking every tongue, he entered every soul."
