However, Nice has a strong regional identity and a distinct dialect called Niçard, which is a variety of Occitan, a Romance language spoken in parts of southern France, Spain, and Italy. Niçard is often spoken informally, especially in older generations, but it is not the official language of the city.
It's also worth noting that due to its location on the Mediterranean coast, Nice has a significant Italian influence. You might hear some Italian spoken in the city, particularly in areas with a large Italian community.
