What French speak French and their capitals?

um... I think I know what you mean. In France, they speak French and their capital is Paris. In Quebec, they speak Quebecois, which is basically slang french, (but don't tell them that!) and their capital is Quebec city. In Haiti they speak Haitian Creole, some other islands speak Creole, which is basically french but it has a lot of different words and is very hard for a french speaker to understand! Their capital is Port-au-Prince. In Ivory Coast, (cote d'ivoire) they also speak very good french, idk their capital. (google it) There are a few countries in Africa that speak french including Algeria, Liberia, Sudan (i think) and Ivory coast. Did this help?


What does Iowa mean in the Ioway language?

Technically speaking, the word Iowa does not come from the Ioway language. Iowa possibly comes from the word ayuhwa ("asleep"), however, early European explorers often adopted names of tribes from words which other tribes gave them, not understanding that these differed from what the peoples called themselves. Thus, ayuhwa is not an Ioway word. The word Ioway comes from Dakotan ayuxbe via French aiouez. (The Ioway called themselves Báxoje).
