Hello! I'm Pohjamadesse1, but everyone calls me Jama, so I go by that really. I was born and raised as an [[Occitan language|Occitan]] speaker in rural [[Gascony|Gasconha]], and it is my native language, along with French.

My main interests are [[Occitania]], local [[politics]] and [[radio]], and general articles. You'll usually find me correcting information or expanding paragraphs. All my edits are in [[Good faith edits|good faith]]. If I make any mistake or something of mine is reverted, please let me know at my talk page, I would appreciate the feedback!

I'm also a volunteer translator for French to English and Occitan to English articles, so if you have anything you would like me to translate, let me know!

I'm really good at playing the [[saxophone]], though I don't play professionally. It's more of a hobby thing for me, if you know what I mean.

{{Babel|fr|oc|en-5|ja-5|de-5|es-4|it-4}}I've learnt quite a few languages, mostly due to connections with Occitan, French and English, which does make some of them a lot easier. I don't include Catalan in Babel because I consider it a dialect of Occitan, which isn't the standard view but it's similar enough for me to understand it without making an effort to actually learn it.{{User SciencesPoParis}}

These are some sandbox pages, mostly for my political Roleplay stuff - they aren't really relevant but you can look at them anyway if you want. If there's any problems with this, please let me know. Thanks!

'''Visca Occitània!''', frequently shortened to '''Visca!''' or it's abbreviation '''VOC,''' is a [[Centre-left politics|center-left]] political party in [[Occitania|Occitània]], including branches in the [[Val d'Aran]] and the [[Occitan Valleys]]. Founded in 1912 by [[Frédéric Mistral|Frederic Mistral]], a [[Provençal dialect|Provençal]] writer and [[Lexicography|lexicographer]], it advocates for [[Occitan nationalism]], especially [[Devolution|devolved government]] for the region, and advances in the regional languages within Occitania. It is historically the most successful Occitan party, with it's main opponent, the [[Partit Occitan]].

The party is traditionally aligned with [[Trade unions in France|trade unions]] and the [[working class]], and secures a majority of their votes consistently whether or not they have a landslide loss. The last time it did not do this in the [[1889 French legislative election]], it won only 2 seats, all in [[Aveyron]]. The party has such a strong hold on the sector because of it's [[Social democracy|social democratic]] policies, although for periods in the 1980s and 2000s it moved towards [[Third Way|third way centrism]]. A significant wing of the party is still present here, although have been unable to vote in one of their members since 2009.

=== History ===

The party traces it's roots back to the [[French Revolution]], because that is where the origins of the linguistic discrimination of [[vergonha]] are.
