You guys are getting away from it and disassociating yourselves. Many Algerians don't speak French just like most of Azeri youth don't speak Russian because they're not taught it in school anymore. You Algerians should make darija the official language and right it in the Maltese script.

you speak an arabic creole called darija that no one in the arab world can comprehend. Make that the official language because it's the most widely spoken.

Put it mildly the shared history of England and France, I mean the English monarchy has it roots in the anglo-normans and for many centuries the royals spoke french as their main language

That actually goes for just about every Royal family in Europe. It's kinda of strange because all European royalty is mad up if two ethnic divisions French or Germanic

Not trying to be rude but Equatorial Guinea speaks Spanish as a main language... you're still pretty darn right, though, since a lot of Equatorial Guineans learn French as a second language because they are surrounded by French african nations.

The point is that he didn't point out how they also spoke spanish. It also used to be a Spanish colony. I'm not trying to say that French isn't an important language in Ecuatorial Guinea, just that Spanish is also very important.

@Eversix86 - In fact, even if a lot of words are directly coming from Latin, some are wrongly assimilated to it, because after the hundred years war, lots of words have been Latinised. For instance, "salive" became "saliva" or "docteur" changed to "doctor", to sound less French and feel less like an invasion.

OK, just a few features, French as mother tongue in France, Belgium 42%, it is 5 million, Switzerland 19%, it is 1,6 million, Canada, only Quebec, 8 million. And a little more. The vast majority of speakers is in Africa and these speakers use it as a second language because it is official and unites a whole nation where hundred of local languages are spoken. French is an important language, but I'm not sure about it in the future. I don't desire any decline, don't get me wrong, but today French is not even in the top10 list of most spoken languages by number of native speakers(85 million)

In fact, the colonial language is Spanish and 90% of the population speaks it. Almost nobody speaks french or portuguese. These two languages were introduced as official for trade purposes.
