Welcome to the World of French Language
French, also known as "français" in the language itself, is a rich and melodious Romance language. It proudly stands as the third most widely spoken Romance language, following Spanish and Portuguese. As of 1999, French found itself in the 11th spot among the most spoken languages worldwide. Approximately 77 million individuals, known as Francophones, speak it as their mother tongue, with a total of 128 million speakers, including those fluent in a second language.
French's influence is profound, as it holds official or administrative language status in various communities and international organizations such as the European Union, IOC, United Nations, and Universal Postal Union. In the past, French reigned as the quintessential international language, especially in fields like diplomacy, trade, shipping, and transportation.
Since 1992, as per the French Constitution, French holds the esteemed position of being the official language of the Republic. Its harmonious tones can also be heard in places like Lebanon, Cambodia, Egypt, India (Pondicherry), Italy (Aosta Valley), Laos, Mauritania, the United Kingdom (Channel Islands), the United States of America (primarily Louisiana and the New England region), Vietnam, Russia, and the Czech Republic.
Embark on a Journey Through French
French, a descendant of Latin, found its way to the region known as Gaul during Caesar's conquest between 58-51 B.C. Gaul swiftly became one of the Roman Empire's most prosperous provinces, and Latin supplanted the various Celtic (Gaulish) languages as the dominant tongue. Dialects arose, but history favored the north, with Paris emerging as the capital in the 12th century and Parisian French asserting its dominance. In the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, French reigned supreme as an international language, although the 20th century saw English partially overshadow it. French proudly stood as one of the two official languages of the League of Nations and remains one of the six official languages of the United Nations.
