French is spoken as the primary language in some European countries (France, Belgium, and parts of Switzerland). It is also spoken in about half of Africa (because of previous French colonization of these parts of Africa). It is a second language there, but serves to help groups with different indigenous languages speak to each other. It is also the primary language in the Quebec province of Canada, and a variant of it is spoken in Louisiana (both of these also as a result of French colonization). There are also numerous small islands in the Caribbean where French is spoken.

French is spoken in France, as well as many other countries in Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean. French is a widespread language due to the history of French colonization in many parts of the world, as well as its status as an international language of diplomacy, business, and culture.
