I’m not sure the borders between Savoyard, Francoprovançal and Burgundian are done well.

This map suggests where I currently live was speaking Savoyard or Burgundian in the 1800s. Savoyard is a form of Francoprovençal, so the distinct regions is weird. Burgundian is a langue d’oïl, and none of the region I live in was speaking a langue d’oïl. They were speaking a local dialect of francoprovençal. Quite distinct from savoyard.
