Talk:Burgundy (Burgundy Survives)

From Alternative History

So do they use septante, huitante, & nonante, or do they go the soixante-dix, quatre-vingt, quatre-vingt-dix? Louisiannan 17:44, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

??? Sorry Dan, I have no idea what you're talking about. --Sikulu 15:09, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Some french dialects use the first 3 names for 70, 80 and 90 instead of the later. Considering the early POD, I would think that the inhabitants would probably still speak burgond (something quite different) or if french-related, something that evolved quite differently. It could even be closer to Franco-provencal, the speakers of which *here* occupy the south of traditional province of Burgundy) than French.

Regarding the flag, the arms of the first house of burgundy was diagonaly divided blue and gold with a red border. --Marcpasquin 17:50, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Firstly, thanks for that. I think that Burgundy *there* would speak some form of Occitanian (Provençal probably) in the south, and a form of Franco-Provençal in the north. Perhaps that could coalesce into a Burgond language?

Seconsly, in regards to the flag, this is not the same as the Duchy of Burgundy (I know what that looks like anyway), so a diferent flag would probably be in order. --Sikulu 10:05, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

If you have an idea of the dynastic evolution of the monarchs, you could go with their arms --203.164.53.116 01:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
