It's part of my goal! That's why I'm thinking of making it the principal
language of France, that's to say French, if French had been a langue d'oc
instead of a langue d'oc :) . Also I've been quite influenced from the little I
know about Occitan (and especially Provencal). I'm thinking of deriving the real
name of "Roumant" from gallicus: Gaulish, but I'm still not sure what it would
give ("galhès"? "galhàs"? I want to find a nice equivalent of the -ais/-ois
suffix of French. Or maybe I would make -icus -> -icue /ik/, thus "galhicue".
I'm quite uncertain...).
