About the French Language

The French language comes from the Indo-European family, and is a descendant from Vulgar Latin. There are over 76.8 million native French speakers worldwide and 274 million French speakers.

Within the European Union, 12% of the population speak French, making it the fourth most common language. French spans a range of continents and it is the official language of 29 countries. It is also the office language of the Republic, under the Constitution of France.

There are variations in the dialect of the French language across France and the rest of the world. Metropolitan French is considered standard French and this is spoken in Paris. Outside France, there is Belgian French, Swiss French and Aostan French, which are used in Europe. Alternative dialects also exist in Canada, and these are known as Quebec French and Acadian French. There are many more dialects in the French language, depending on where you are in the world.

French orthography is made up of a combination of phonemic and historical principles. Spelling of words in French are usually based on Old French pronunciation. There are many silent letters and homophones in the language.

The French language was derived from Gallo-Romance, which is the spoken Latin in Northern Gual. It is a language which has been influenced by Celtic languages of Northern Roman Gaul. In some cases, French or French speaking people are referred to as Francophone. Earlier forms of French are Old French and Middle French.

Standard French is the standard of the spoken and written language by francophones throughout the world. The pronunciation and vocabulary of Standard French are those registered formally in Metropolitan France.

Compared to other Romantic languages, French has underwent the most changes in respect to phonology. There are also significant changes in the phonology between the Old French period and current modern language. The significant changes include the loss of most of the final consonants of the French language, loss of strong stress and changes in pronunciation of vowels.

French grammar is similar to other Romance languages. The inflection used in the language is moderate, most nouns are pronounced the same whether singular or plural. Like many other languages, nouns are either feminine or masculine and verbs are used in many tenses. Adverbs do not change their form in the French language.

French literature has been influential throughout Europe and French people view their literature as a national pride. France has even been ranked in the Nobel Prize list by country. Literature in medieval French has been prominent in literature themes across the continent. French literary tradition includes literature written in French by French people and those who speak French.

You can trace French vocabulary and grammar back to its Latin roots. French and English vocabulary are similar, making it easier for English speaking people to pick it up. In some cases, the words may look the same, but have very different meanings. It is important to be aware of this as otherwise, it could cause problems, you’d rather avoid!
