Provençal dialect
Fascinated by the history of the city of Lyon, its culture, and its regional Franco-Provençal dialect, Claude Tisseur penned numerous newspapers articles, narrative writings, and scholarly language studies, as well as humorous works. These include "Les vieilleries lyonnaises" in 1879, "Les oisivetés du sieur Puitspelu" in 1883, "Très humble traité de phonétique lyonnaise" in 1885, and "Les Coupons d'un atelier lyonnais" published posthumously. "Le Littré de la Grand'Côte", his popular dictionary in Lyonnaise dialect first published in 1894 has been continuously in print for more than 100 years.
