In linguistics, the Oïl languages are closely related Romance languages spoken in northern France and bordering areas.
It contrasts with the Occitan languages, or langues d'oc.
Both families of languages are named after the word meaning "yes" in those languages. Old French "Oïl" developed into "Oui" in modern French.
Of the Oïl dialects, the dialect spoken in the Paris region gained importance over the other, becoming the French language, which in France became the standard and the only officially recognised language.
