French of course like everyone else: but with very specific characteristics words that do not resemble those of our neighbors specifically Comtois towers an inimitable accent. All this tends to disappear under the standardization of media Jacobinism: good reason for carrying out an inventory of the most important most significant words. This is what Jean-Paul Colin tried to do in this book: professor of linguistics at the Faculty of Letters of Besançon head of the Lucien Tesnière Research Center passionate about lexicon and author of numerous works on the French language he was able thanks to a team provided with dialects and dialectics of all social and geographic origins inside the region to gather and study in a single collection a large number of words still little known and used from the North in the South and from the West to the East of the County. Many will recognize themselves in these pages and will be able to note the richness and the variety of these patois formerly so despised today almost disappeared and whose precious traces which here are part of the cultural heritage to which we refer more and more without always knowing where and how to find it. The Comtophiles group and the Tesnière Center wish you dear reader a good reunion with the talk of your fathers. The first edition of this work won the Comtois Book Prize in 1993.
