French(le français or la langue française) Belongs to the Romance language family of the Indo-European language family. French is exceptEnglish、SpanishwithArabicThe official language of the most foreign countries is also one of the working languages of the United Nations, and French is also the official language and official administrative language of the United Nations, the European Union, NATO, the Olympic Games, the WTO and the International Red Cross. French was once the most populous language in the world in the 11th century, except for Middle Chinese. About 100 million people in the world now speak French as their mother tongue, and another 280 million people use French (including those who use it as a second language); these numbers are still growing, especially on the African continent. French is widely used and ranks second in the world, second only toEnglish. French French and Quebec French are the two main French branches in the world. Although they are differentiated from the same French dialect, there are obstacles when they communicate with each other. This is because there are certain differences between the two, especially in Pronunciation and a few grammars.
