Naming and classification
Vivaro-Alpine had been considered as a sub-dialect of Provençal, and named provençal alpin (Alpine Provençal) or Northern Provençal.3
Its use in the Dauphiné area has also lead to the use of dauphinois or dauphinois alpin to name it.4 Along with Ronjat4 and Bec,5 it is now clearly recognized as a dialect of its own.
The UNESCO Atlas of World's languages in danger6 uses the Alpine Provençal name, and considers it as seriously endangered.
