A language extremely close to [[Roundworld]] French, originating in [[Quirm]]. A related language is used around [[Genua]] and along the lower [[Vieux River|Vieux river]] (where they used to do [[That Thing With The Bulls]] until it was abruptly discontinued a few years ago. The women still talk about it and giggle, though).

In accordance with thoughts expressed elsewhere, everyday spoken first-language Quirmian may well be a minority language, like Welsh on the Roundworld, under threat by non-speaking incomers drawn in attracted by the beauties of the area and cheaper property prices. Indeed, the Gendarmerie officers encountered by [[Sam Vimes]] in {{SN}} have an attitude very much like that alleged of native North Welsh people:-

''We all speak pretty good Morporkian here. Everybody here speaks Morporkian. If you ever hear us speaking Quirmian, it's because we want to talk about you behind your back...''

See [[Quirmian Phrases]] for a list of expressions still used on Discworld.

A fuller phrase in Quirmian was used by the cook [[Aimsbury]], in the throes of his unfortunate allergy to garlic. In fact, it's more of a discourse:-

* ''Nom d'une bouilloire! Pourquoi est-ce-que je suis hardiment ri sous cape a part des dieux?'' (Extremely free and approximate translation - ''"Name of a kettle! Why do the gods make me the object of sly sniggers?''")

==Restaurant Quirmian==

Restaurant Quirmian as spoken (or more likely, read) in Ankh-Morpork is a related dialect. It resembles the original language as the inscriptions of the [[College of Heralds]] resemble [[Latatian]]. Few actually understand it, but many pretend to. One upscale establishment found all its supplies mysteriously replaced by muddy old boots on a busy night. They rallied in ''Iron Chef'' style with creations like:

*Mousse de la Boue dans une Panier de la Pâte de Chaussures.
*Brodequin rôti façon Ombres
*Languette braisée
*Sole d'une Bonne Femme (Servis dans un Coulis de Terre en l'Eau)
*Et, dernier...Café de Terre

Restaurant [[Brindisi|Brindisian]] is also encountered. It's a little like Quirmian with many of the "e"s changed to "a"s.
