Judeo-Provençal, or Judeo-Occitan, is a dialect of Occitan historically spoken by Jews in the South of France. In the Middle Ages, it was spoken by the Jews of Occitania and, following waves of expulsions from the Kingdom of France between 1306 and 1501, by Papal Jews in the Comtat Venaissin during the modern period.
It is known from documents dating from the 11th century up until the 19th century. Most of its speakers eventually assimilated to French and the language has been extinct since the 20th century.
