Interesting Facts About French
Discover the rich history, culture, and unique characteristics of the French language.
The Language of Diplomacy
French (Français) was the primary language of international diplomacy for centuries and remains an official language of the United Nations, NATO, the EU, the International Olympic Committee, and the International Red Cross. It's also the only language besides English spoken on all five continents.
The Académie Française
Founded in 1635, the Académie française is the official authority on the French language. This 40-member body, known as "Les Immortels," publishes the official dictionary and works to preserve the purity of the French language.
French in Africa
More French speakers live in Africa than in France itself. With a rapidly growing population, Africa is expected to have 85% of the world's French speakers by 2060, making African French increasingly important for global communication.
English's French Heritage
After the Norman Conquest of 1066, French was the language of English royalty for 300 years. Today, about 45% of English words have French origins, including common terms like "beef," "government," "art," and "fashion."
Quebec's Unique French
Canadian French (Français Québécois) has preserved many 17th-century expressions lost in modern European French. Quebec also has strict language laws (Bill 101) requiring French in business, making quality Québécois translation essential for the Canadian market.
