About 77 million people speak French natively, mostly through France, parts of Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, Monaco, and Luxembourg.
An additional 202 million people speak French as a second language, bringing the total number of speakers to nearly 280 million people. French is also one of the official languages in numerous former colonies, especially across Africa, where more than 20 countries list French as an official language and large portions of the population speak the language fluently and daily.
French is a Romance language that developed from Vulgar Latin, especially from the spoken Latin of Northern Gaul.
