The way the Troubadours transcribed their language is not the way
Occitan is written nowadays. By the way the medieval language was
quite different as most subsequent transformations had not happened
yet ([o]>[u] , [u]>[y], unstressed a > [o]).

Definitely, no. The way troubadours' texts and administrative scripta
were written was in accordance with an earlier stage of the Occitan
language. By the way, this was used as a base of linguistic revival
efforts from SJ Honnorat (1840s), the abbot Roux (end of XIXth
century) and the Escola occitana of the Felibrige (beginning of the
XXth century, where Estieu and Perbosc devised and published their
works leading to the reenactement of the classical orthography -
Alibert came later).


He claims Alibert was an admirer of Hitler even after WW II while
Alibert was jailed and had no opportunity to publish any statement of
this sort.

Alibert was undoubtedly more than an opportunist collaborator : he was
an ideologist waiting for a new Europe so that his dream of Occitania
could be fulfilled.

Yes, but this has nothing in common with is linguistic work before WW
II.

When he pretends all the Occitan people was nazi-friendly during the
WW II, he deserves more than the "liar" adjective. But history will
tell. History, not Broc's counterfeited tellings.

Most militants were. Most regionalists were petainist too. This past
was quickly forgotten so that France could revive.

Militants plus regionalists do not equal the entire Occitan people.
