Decorde is a linguistic and cultural reference work written in the mid-19th century. The book serves as a glossary of the local dialect spoken in the Bray region of Normandy, detailing unique words, phrases, and expressions that are at risk of disappearing. It highlights the significance of preserving regional languages and dialects as part of cultural heritage. The opening of this work presents an introduction to the author's motivations and challenges in documenting the patois of the Bray region. Decorde reflects on the historical context in which the patois has evolved, emphasizing the influences of various languages and cultural changes over time. He intends to provide a record of the language as it is spoken by the common people, acknowledging that as time passes, the patois will likely fade, making this compilation a crucial effort for future generations interested in the origins of their language and locally rooted identities.
