Canadian French Language (373 words) |
 | French is mother tongue for more than 6,000,000 in Canada (24 percent of the total population according to 1986 census). |
| Although in the 18th century Canadian French was regarded as exceptionally "pure" by metropolitan commentators, it began to diverge from Parisian French after 1760 as English influence grew stronger. |
| Even today, however, French is not as socially prestigious as English; the activities of the separatist movement are evidence of the feeling of grievance that many French Canadians still have. |
