listen); Occitan: Miègjorn-Pirenèus or Mieidia-Pirenèus) is the laorgest region in metropolitan Fraunce bi land aurie, lairger than the Netherlands or Denmark.

The name chosen for the new region wis decidit bi the French central govrenment athoot reference tae the historical provinces (ower mony o them inside the region) an based purely on geography: Midi (i.e. "soothren Fraunce") - Pyrénées (Pyrénées muntains that serve as the region's soothren bundary). The French adjective an name o the inhabitants o the region is: Midi-Pyrénéen.
