On 14 September 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Parliament of Toulouse to Parlement of Toulouse. The result of the discussion was moved.

parlement/parliament

Suggest renaming this article to either "Parliament of Toulouse" or "Parlement de Toulouse", as its current name is a combination of French and English. Since the French and English terms are synonyms--granted with multiple historic uses in French--I think the article might read better if we used the English term in the body, whether we make the title French or English. A couple references:

entry on WordReference en>fr
definition in French of the term parlement (note lowercase); see also tab "Difficultés".

The French and English terms are not synonyms but "false friends" issuing from the same French stem signifying a "speaking", but creating unending needless confusion among monoglots.--Wetman (talk) 00:46, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This polyglot and professional translator does not agree that the French and English versions are faux amis. The original French version was merely used differently before the 18th century from the way it is typically used now. In addition to the above references, the American Heritage Dictionary's etymology of parliament^(note) and the OED disagree with you, Wetman. If you have access to the latter, you might take a look at the two-page entry for parliament there--in the 24th US printing (1985), it is on pp. 483–485; see especially 6a. The parlement entry on fr.wp also provides some good perspective.

(Note March 13 2020: AHD etymology apparently no longer available online)

In any case, I maintain that the title would be better in one language. Eric ^talk 03:07, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
