Mentonasc (Occitan pronunciation: [me(n)tuˈnaʃk]; Mentonasco in Italian, Mentonnais [mɑ̃tɔnɛ] or Mentonasque [mɑ̃tɔnask] in French) is a Romance dialect historically spoken in and around Menton, France. It is classified as a dialect of Occitan and a sub-dialect of Vivaro-Alpine, with some influence from the neighbouring Intemelian Ligurian dialect spoken from Ventimiglia to San Remo.^[1]
