In 1947, when France obtained Briga and Tenda from Italy, some French scholars wanted to catalogue Brigasc as an Occitan dialect.
•
The Intemelio spoken in the mountains around Briga was called Brigasc and received some influence from the Occitan language of Savoy.
The border with France was slightly modified in favor of France, mostly in uninhabited Alpine area, except for the Tende valley and La Brigue.
