Best Answer

The French language developed from Celtic-accented Latin. During the time of the Roman Empire, Romans conquered the land now known as France (then known as Gaul) and their language eventually became the main language. The former main language, a Celtic language called Gaulish, influenced the Latin particularly in pronunciation and word order, and a small number of words (such as Creme) After the Roman Empire fell, the Latin spoken in France, Italy and Spain diverged and changed into the languages we know today.
