About the language

This is the language as it is spoken in France. French is also an official language in 29 countries across five different continents. The majority of the world’s French speaking population lives in Africa where it is spoken mainly as a second language. Different French dialects have their own pronunciation, see uTalk French Canadian, but speaking one will broadly help you understand another. French is called a Romance language after the Romans because it evolved from Latin.

French

is a Romance language of the Indo-European family. It descended from the Vulgar Latin of the Roman Empire, as did all Romance languages. French evolved from Gallo-Romance, the Latin spoken in Gaul, and more specifically in Northern Gaul. Its closest relatives are the other langues d’oïl—languages historically spoken in northern France and in southern Belgium, which French (Francien) largely supplanted. French was also influenced by native Celtic languages of Northern Roman Gaul like Gallia Belgica and by the (Germanic) Frankish language of the post-Roman Frankish invaders. Today, owing to France’s past overseas expansion, there are numerous French-based creole languages, most notably Haitian Creole. A French-speaking person or nation may be referred to as Francophone in both English and French.

Fun facts of language

  • If someone says ‘la moutarde me monte au nez’ – the mustard is going up my nose – it means they’re getting angry.
  • In Maori, the aboriginal language of New Zealand, France is known as ‘wiwi’ from the French for yes, yes, ‘oui, oui’!
  • The Académie française, established in 1635, has the task of keeping an eye on the French language and making sure not too many English words sneak in. One example of its success has been to install ‘ordinateur’ and ‘courriel’ instead of the English ‘computer’ and ‘e-mail’.
