Landese (Maritime Gascon, or parlar negre, which means "black speech" in English) is a dialect of the Gascon language, spoken in the south-west part of Landes of Gascony, part of Chalosse and around Bayonne (Aquitaine, metropolitan France). Landese is an endangered dialect as are several other Occitan languages.

The main feature of Landese is its propensity to pronounce certain vowels with more roundedness (and if necessary, in a more closed or more centralized manner). Thus there is a migration of phonemes from the general Gascon to new phonemes in Landese.

The poet, novelist and essayist Bernat Manciet (1923 - 2005) remained faithful to the local Gascon speaking of his native Landes region where he lived a large part of his life.

The erudite Vincent Foix (1857 - 1932) has written a dictionary^[1] on the Gascon from Chalosse and other parts of Landes.
