OC and Roll !
Cada ser, de 22h00 dinc a 0h00
Radio Gasconha
FRANCE

For etymologists, Gascon _dinc a_ is transparently from Latin, _de hinc ad_.

In addition to Langue d'Oc sensu stricto. there are several other
langues d'oc, of which Bearno-Gascon is one, still hanging on by the
skin of their teeth, despite the fact that the destruction of all
minority languages has been the official policy of Anglo-Romance
Europe for centuries.
