About the French Language
- Speakers: 300 million native and second-language speakers worldwide
- Script: Latin alphabet
- Main regions: France, Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, Africa and worldwide
- Gender on every noun. French nouns are masculine or feminine, and articles and adjectives must agree. Machine translation handles this well, but double-check formal documents.
- Silent letters. Many final consonants are silent in French. 'Paris' is pronounced 'pah-REE', not 'PAR-iss'. The romanizations above reflect actual speech.
- Formal vs informal. French has two words for 'you': 'vous' (formal/plural) and 'tu' (informal). These translations use 'vous' — the safe default with strangers.
