ociSeveral regional surveys about uses and users of so called "occitan" languages have been made recently:
- http://portal-lem.com/images/fr/occitan/08_Enquete_sociolinguistique_occitan_en_Aquitaine_2009.pdf
- http://www.ddl.cnrs.fr/led-tdr/pageweb/sources/FORA_rapp.pdf (about Gascon and Occitan, 2009)
- http://www.observatori-occitan.org/documents/2010_Midi_Pyrenees_etude_sociolinguistique.pdf (about Occitan)
- https://www.ofici-occitan.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/OPLO_Enquete-sociolingusitique-occitan-2020_Resultats.pdf (about Gascon and Occitan)
- https://luniversitenumerique.fr/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Provençal-UOH-Blanchet-avec-liens-interneslogo.pdf (2020, about Provençal)
Figures are much higher than what is said in The Ethnologue website (all added gives about 1 million regular users and 1 million more occasional users). A summary of the whole situation was recently published (see https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333487187_La_mosaique_d'oc_un_espace_pluriel_en_question_au_coeur_du_monde_roman)
