Quebec was originally settled and developed as a colony of France, who often was at war with England. Following the Seven Year War/ French&Indian War, which France lost, all of it's territory in what is now Canada was given to England. England allowed the French population in what is now Quebec to retain their customs, traditions, and the French language which has continued into the present time where French is the official language of Province Quebec.

∙ 8y agoFrench is not the only official language of Canada; it is one of the official languages, the other being English. Canada was explored and settled first by French-speaking Europeans, and there remain French-speaking communities all over Canada, most notably, of course, in the Province of Quebec, where French is not only the dominant language, but the (only) official language as well.

∙ 12y agoonly a small percentage of Canadian speak French... almost all of which live in Quebec.
The reason for this is because Canada was originally settled by the french along the St. Lawrence (where Montreal and Quebec city are) and when the British ceded control over Canada from the french... French Speaking Canadians were allowed to retain their culture and language and Quebec remained officially a French-speaking Province. You wont find many who can speak more than 2 words in french outside of Quebec... although New Brunswick is officially biligual... I'm not sure how many french communities there are.

∙ 11y agoFrench and English are Canada's "Official Languages." English is the majority language, but there are communities from coast, to coast, to coast, in which French is the majority language. French is the majority language in the Province of Québec. New Brunswick is Canada's only "Officially Bilingual" province.

Canada is not a French speaking country. Outside of one province most of Canada speaks English and more Canadians speak Asian languages than French. For much of Canada French is the language of the colonizing Mother County.
