Andy Ayres Yay! I know it's been little over 2 weeks since my last round, but it feels like months!
Alan the cat has not yet returned from his unforeseen séjour in Mauritania, so this round will be missing his characteristic evil ^__^. It's not French, but it's a language with which French can help immeasurably to decode!
I fait nuit. Arsène vot sin comarate Nestor, à quat' pattes, in route à cacher qué qu' cose, à terre, in d'sous d'in limpadaire.
- Qu'é t'as perdu Nestor ?
- Ben, les clefs d'em' bagnole !
- Et té sûr ed les avoir perdues ichi ?
- Pas du tout ! mais ché ichi qu'in vot pus clair !
I'll have to retire to bed very soon, but I'll be back tomorrow - with additional resources if necessary.

Wrik Chatterjee Since I can understand French, I feel like this is cheating; I got most of this at first glance. Bonne chance, sprogspelare!
Andy Ayres Fair play, Wrik! I do the same - in fact, unfortunately, the one opportunity that I had to intervene in the last few weeks that didn't feel like a dishonourable steal was a round in which I knew the language too well to compete.
None of the above, but Walloon and Gallo place it very close!

Sarah Karoline At first glance, I though "uh-oh", but at second glance, I thought "ah-ha" to most words. I should perhaps sit this out...
I don't know which language it is exactly, so I am going to guess it's Occitan....

Andy Ayres I'm afraid that Occitan's further away - it's not an "oc" language but a "oïl" language. Its Sprachraum is very close to that of Gallo

Marius Vincenzii Dennischter I'm not sure if I'd be allowed to play.
Although I don't speak Picard at all, but seems like I somehow understand what this convo is about :p

Billy James Brightraven Night falls. Arsène sees his pal Nestor, on all fours, hiding? something beneath a lamp.
- Whatcha lost, Nestor?
- Well, the keys to my ride
- And are ya sure you lost 'em here?
- Not at all! But it's here that one sees best.

Marius Vincenzii Dennischter It has been night. Arsène sees his pal Nestor, on all fours, hiding under a portable lamp
- What have you lost, Nestor?
- Well, the keys to my ride
- And are you sure that you have lost them here?
- Not at all! But it's here that is clearer.

Christian James Meredith But in fairness, since min was a dirty, dirty ol' Stjälcuri attempt, I shall differentiate my attempt from Billy's to maintain some semblance of originality:

Sarah Karoline I'll offer a slightly embellished version for entertainment...
Night’s falling. Arsène sees his ‘stari drug’ Nestor on all fours enroute to hunting something on the ground below a street lamp.
What ya lost, Nestie?
Well, the keys to me wheels!
Ya sure you’ve lost em ‘ere?
Not a’ all, but I can see clearer ‘ere.

Andy Ayres Quick log in at work... Christian's won it with his latest post! Cacher is a false friend with French, it is related to chercher and not cacher. In Picard, the Latin c palatalised less, and as a result, a>e after c is less prevalent too
Christian James Meredith Mwahahaha! I have stolen victory! Much celebrate! For 40 days and 40 nights!
