More About The French Language

While many customers require English to French website translation services, there are so many other types of content that we translate. The French language is only second to English for its official status in other countries.

 

It’s the official language in 29 countries, and English is one of the official languages in 67 countries.

Trivia About French

As an example of how popular French translation services are, statistics show around 80 million speakers out of 300 million are native speakers. There are an estimated 220 million partial speakers, but this number is quickly rising.

The French / English Connection

Around 30% of modern English words are of French origin. In the period after the Norman Conquest, the French language became the language of aristocracy, which resulted in many French words and phrases being intertwined into English.

 

Over time, French remained a dominant language influencing modern English. Even today, English continues to borrow words from French and mix them with everyday dialogue. Examples include words like cul-de-sac and déjà vu.

 

French is a Romance language derived from Latin, with sway across the centuries from the Vikings, Celts, and the Romans.

 

Interestingly, it was announced that there would be significant changes in the French language. The French Academy voted to remove the use of the circumflex over both the “i” and “u,” and this changed the spelling of many words.

French Popularity

With almost 80 million native speakers and over 274 million speakers globally, French is one of the most popular languages in the world. French is the official language in 29 countries and is the sixth most popular language in the world.

 

The Organization International de la Francophonie (OIF) is an organization that promotes the international use of French. A French-speaking person is known as a francophone. The global use of French is partly due to Belgian and French colonialism that helped scatter the language around the world.

 

Around 40% of French speakers live in Europe, but there are also large populations of speakers in Canada, Africa, and many other countries.
