Saintongeais (séntunjhaes) is a dialect of Poitevin–Saintongeais[2][3] spoken halfway down the western coast of France in the former provinces of Saintonge, Aunis and Angoumois, all of which have been incorporated into the current departments of Charente and Charente-Maritime as well as in parts of the neighbouring department of Gironde and a town[which?] in Dordogne. Although many of the same words are used in both Charente departments, they differ in what they mean or in how they are pronounced.
