THE FRENCH government has indicated that it is keen to ratify a 20-year-old European charter recognising and supporting the country's regional and minority languages - such as Breton, Provençal and Occitan.
The charter, adopted by the Council of Europe in 1992 aims to protect and promote regional languages and to favour their use in private and public life.
France, and several other states, signed this but failed to ratify it (ie. to pass legislation making it operative in France). - See more at: http://www.connexionfrance.com/france

Va plat about the only words I know in Occitan mean very much the same as Ca va.
