Imagine my first time discovering when I found out that Limousin(car) (apparently)is named after a region and that there is language named Limousin.
- Bayart 5y agoIt's also the name of a cattle breed that's native to the region [1] and famed for its meat, as well as the name by which the very language discusses in this thread used to go by during the Middle Ages (as the Limousin dialect formed the basis for the normalized form of Occitan, that was used by the Troubadour movement ever since its inception by Eble II of Ventadorn).

- mrlonglong 5y agoIt's also a girl's name - Limousine. We had a French girl by that name stay with us on an exchange visit.
- rjtavares 5y agoI mean, it's only a Limousine if it comes fron the french region of Limousin. Otherwise it's just an unnecessarily long sparkling car.
