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.[2][3][4] However, other definitions are far broader and variously encompass the Occitan or Occitano-Romance, Gallo-Italic[5][6] or Rhaeto-Romance languages.[7]

Old Gallo-Romance was one of the two languages in which the Oaths of Strasbourg were written in 842 AD.[8][9][10]
