Outremer French loanwords in Cilician Armenian: Phonetic issues

Andrea͏ Scala · 2022

Catalogue summary

Cilician Armenian documents preserve Outremer French loanwords with enough phonetic detail to analyze vowels, consonants, dialect traits, and conservative forms, indicating that crusader-state French differed from Francien and missed some innovations spreading in France.

Why this matters

The evidence makes Armenian writing an unusually precise witness for a sparsely documented medieval French variety and for elite contact in Cilicia.
