 Map of native European range of Gallo-Romance languages

The Gallo-Romance branch of the Romance languages includes in the narrowest

sense the langues d'oïl and Franco-Provençal.[1][2][3] However, other definitions are far
broader and variously encompass the Occitan or Occitano-Romance, Gallo-Italic[4]
[5]
 or Rhaeto-Romance languages.[6]
Old Gallo-Romance was one of the two languages in which the Oaths of
Strasbourg were written in 842 AD.[7][8][9]

The Gallo-Romance group includes:

 The langues d'oïl include French, Orleanais, Gallo, Angevin,
Tourangeau, Saintongeais, Poitevin, Bourguignon, Picard, Walloon, Lorrain and Nor
man.[10]
 Franco-Provençal in east-central France, western Switzerland and the Aosta
Valley region of northwestern Italy. Formerly thought of as a dialect of either the
langue d'oïl or Occitan, it is linguistically a language on its own or rather a separate
group of languages, as many of its dialects have little mutual intelligibility.[citation needed] It
shares features with both French and Occitan.
Other language families often included in Gallo-Romance:

 Occitano-Romance, including languages and dialects such

as Catalan, Occitan, Provençal, Gascon-Aranese and Aragonese.[11]
 Rhaeto-Romance, including Romansh
