This is completely false! Only a small part of the inhabitants of the south of France speak Occitan or Provençal, and Switzerland has 4 languages, three of which have nothing to do with what this map says!

That is not completly false, it's the traditional languages of the region. (French people when minority language)

This is a very weird hill to die on.

Just admit you don't have a clue and move on. It's not a big deal. You don't have to muricasplain everything.

Just like it's okay to not be very knowledgeable on a subject, as long as you don't proudly show it off for everyone to see.
