Langue d’Oc.

Langue d’Oïl.
The language of the northern provinces of France, and the parent of modern French. It contains a much larger admixture of Teutonic roots than the Langue d’Oc, though its grammatical form is Latin.
Last Battle.
The Battle of Culloden, fought in 1746, is so called as being the last battle fought on British soil.
