Arpitania, Language area across eastern France, western Switzerland and northwestern Italy.
The Arpitania region extends through the Western Alps, encompassing territories from three countries where Franco-Provençal language speakers reside.
The region corresponds to the former territories of the County of Savoy, which later became the Duchy of Savoy during medieval times.
Speakers of Franco-Provençal, known as Arpitan, maintain distinct dialects including Valdôtain, Lyonnais, and Savoyard across different parts of the region.
The territory includes French departments of Savoie and Haute-Savoie, the Italian Aosta Valley, and parts of Swiss Romandy excluding northern Jura.
The name Arpitania derives from the Franco-Provençal word 'arp,' referring to alpine pastures and mountains in the Western Alps region.
