history

Although many French people think that they are descendants of noancêtressels Gaulis, it seems that only a few Celtic influences remain in today's France. Many words come from Latin or Germanic languages.

In the 4th century AD, the Roman Empire ruled France, and Latin became popular in France. By the 5th century, Latin had widely replaced Celtic, which was originally used in France. In Gaul, with the increase of Roman immigrants, the common Latin used by Gauls merged into popular Latin, and the written Latin used as a scholar of high society began to decline. In the 5th century AD, the early Latin-speaking residents of Gaul began to merge with the Germanic-speaking Franks who entered Gaul with the great national migration. French began to lose unstressed syllables. In the 6th and 7th centuries, popular languages became Unlanguage Composite. In the 8th century, the establishment of Charlemagne Empire began to standardize French. In the 9th century, Latin and Germanic finally merged into Romance. French became the only official language in France since the Capé dynasty in 939.

French dialect

At first, there were many different dialects in today's French territory, but later Ile-de-France, a dialect near Paris, replaced other dialects and became the basis of modern French official language. However, due to the backward economic development and historical separation in South China, there are still many dialects, such as Masha dialect, Upper languedoc dialect, Lower languedoc dialect, limousin dialect, Upper Orforny dialect, Lower Orforny dialect, Galke dialect and Provence dialect.
