français – Facts
about the French language |
|
|
The
official language of 29 countries, French is spoken by approximately
125 million people as a first language and 165 million as a second
language. The Francophone world is spread across Europe, Africa,
and the Americas as well as in and around the Pacific, with Europe
and Africa offering the largest concentration of countries where
French is recognised as an official language.
Belonging to the Romance
family of languages, French shares close lexical similarities
to Romance language relations such as Italian and Spanish. In
addition, largely due to its colonial past, the French language
is related to over 20 regional dialects and can be directly linked
to the formation of a number of Creole languages.
The French alphabet is based on the Latin alphabet. It uses the
standard 26 letters. |
