An unmarried girl is called 'single' in modern times. Up until the early 1900's a single unmarried girl (if she was not married by the age of 18) was called a 'spinster.'Older unmarried women were also unkindly referred to as " old maids "
Older unmarried women were usually called "vieilles filles" (literally old maidens) in French. The term is fading out of use nowadays as marital status seems less relevant in modern society.
The usual term to address an unmarried woman is 'mademoiselle'. When the marital status is not relevant (for instance in business relations), or when the person is obviously old enough to be married, it is quite common to address her as 'madame', as is standard for women who had been married in the past.
The euphemism "old maid" traditionally refers to an unmarried woman, often implying that she is past the typical age for marriage. In contemporary usage, it can carry a negative connotation, suggesting loneliness or social stigma. More neutral alternatives include "single woman" or "unmarried woman," which avoid the judgmental implications associated with "old maid."
"Langue" is the Old French word for tongue.

The Old French word for "cottager" is "coterel."
