Editing Occitan language (section)

===Standardization===
All regional varieties of the Occitan language have a written form; thus, Occitan can be considered as a [[pluricentric language]]. Standard Occitan, also called ''occitan larg'' (i.e., 'wide Occitan') is a synthesis that respects and admits soft regional adaptations (which are based on the convergence of previous regional [[Koiné language|koinés]]).<ref name=sumien2006/> The standardization process began with the publication of ''[[Gramatica occitana segon los parlars lengadocians]]'' ("Grammar of the Languedocien Dialect") by [[Louis Alibert]] (1935), followed by the ''[[Dictionnaire occitan-français selon les parlers languedociens]]'' ("French-Occitan dictionary according to Languedocien") by the same author (1966), completed during the 1970s with the works of [[Pierre Bec]] (Gascon), [[Robèrt Lafont]] (Provençal), and others. However, the process has not yet been completed as of the present.{{clarify|date=April 2013}} Standardization is mostly supported by users of the [[#Writing system|classical norm]]. Due to the strong situation of [[diglossia]], some users{{who|date=February 2022}} thusly reject the standardization process, and do not conceive Occitan as a language that can be standardized as per other standardized languages.{{Citation needed|date=February 2022}}
