ATL: Inspired by the constitutional nationalist Irish Parliamentary Party in the United Kingdom and its non-violent campaign for autonomy for Ireland, each of France's non oil-speaking regions forms its own regionalist party in the period 1900-1914 with the aim of achieving legislative autonomy for said regions within the Third French Republic with the parliament in Paris keeping charge of reserved matters. These parties would equally campaign for language rights; namely to end the negative attitudes towards their regional languages and to achieve co-official status with French for them. These parties have to become mass movements within their respective regions and achieve Home Rule for them by 1939. They could do this for example by joining together in the French Parliament to form a Bloc Fédéraliste.
Thus by 1939, the following regions have achieved Home Rule within the Third French Republic:
*Brittany
*Limousin
*Aquitaine/Gascony
*Languedoc/South Centre
*Provence/South-East
*Corsica
*The Area that speaks Arpitan
*Alsace-Lorraine
In these regions, the regional languages survive, just like Catalan has done in Spain in OTL, and have co-official status with French. French, however, is the language of Federal governance and inter-regional communication, as well as being the mother tongue of the traditional Oil-speaking areas; here the regional patois do as badly as in OTL.
