About the French Language

French is one of Canada's two official languages, with more than 7 million native speakers centred on Quebec and strong communities in New Brunswick (Acadian French), Ontario (Franco-Ontarian), and across the country. Canadian French differs from European French in vocabulary, pronunciation, and legal-document conventions, and Quebec's Office quebecois de la langue francaise (OQLF) sets terminology standards that official and commercial documents are expected to follow. Worldwide, French has around 300 million speakers and is one of the United Nations' six official languages. Because federal institutions operate bilingually and immigration paperwork arrives steadily from francophone Africa and Haiti, we match each project to a translator who knows the variant the receiving authority expects - Quebec French, Acadian French, or European French.

  • Primary regions: France, Belgium, Switzerland, parts of Africa and the Caribbean, and Canada - where French is an official language, centred in Quebec with francophone communities in every province
  • Language origin / family: Indo-European, Romance language family
  • Estimated speakers: Around 300 million speakers worldwide
