A short history of the French language
French is a Romance language like Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. It is spoken by around 338 million people and in Europe it is the third most spoken language after English and German. It is also the official language of 28 other countries, which include Canada, Switzerland, Gabon and Chad. French speakers can also be found in places such as Jersey, French Polynesia and Tunisia due to French colonisation in the past.
In Africa, there is a large majority of French speakers, either of a first or second language and French is said to be the fastest growing language on the continent.
From the 17th century French was used as a diplomatic language and this only changed in the 20th century when it was replaced by English. Sub Saharan Africa speaks French, but the dialect is difficult for other French speakers to understand. However, written French is very similar to that found in France and other French speaking countries.
Canada has a large majority of French speakers, both as a first and second language. It is the only official language in Quebec, whereas other provinces share the language with English at federal level. In the United States, French is said to be the fourth most popular language after English, Chinese and Spanish. French today is one of the most important diplomatic languages.
