==Subdialects== The main subdialects of Provençal are: * ''Rodanenc'' (in French ''Rhodanien'') around the lower [[Rhone]] river, [[Arles]], [[Avignon]], [[Nîmes]]. ** A Rodanenc subvariety, the ''[[Shuadit language|Shuadit]]'' (or Judeo-Provençal), has been considered extinct since 1977. It was spoken by the Jewish community around [[Avignon]]. When Jews were granted freedom of residence in France the dialect declined. * ''Maritim'' or ''Centrau'' or ''Mediterranèu'' (Maritime or Central or Mediterranean) around [[Aix-en-Provence]], [[Marseille]], [[Toulon]], [[Cannes]], [[Antibes]], [[Grasse]], [[Forcalquier]], [[Castellane]], [[Draguignan]]. * ''[[Niçard dialect|Niçard]]'' in the lower [[County of Nice]]. ''[[Vivaro-Alpine|Gavòt]]'' (in French ''Gavot''), spoken in the Western Occitan Alps, around [[Digne]], [[Sisteron]], [[Gap, Hautes-Alpes|Gap]], [[Barcelonnette]] and the upper [[County of Nice]], but also in a part of the [[Ardèche]], is not exactly a subdialect of Provençal, but rather a closely related Occitan dialect, also known as [[Vivaro-Alpine]]. So is the dialect spoken in the upper valleys of [[Piedmont]], [[Italy]] ([[Maira Valley|Val Maira]], [[Varaita Valley|Val Varaita]], [[Valle Stura di Demonte|Val Stura di Demonte]], [[Entracque]], [[Limone Piemonte]], [[Vinadio]], [[Sestriere]]).<ref>Nòrmas ortogràficas, chausias morfològicas e vocabulari de l'occitan alpin oriental [tèxte imprimit] / Commission internacionala per la normalizacion linguistica de l'occitan alpin, Published by Espaci Occitan, Piemonte, 2008 . - 242. {{ISBN|9788890299742}}-PN-01</ref> Some people view Gavòt as a variety of Provençal since a part of the Gavot area (near Digne and Sisteron) belongs to historical Provence.
