Who created the french language?

Answer 1

French is a Romance language (meaning that it is descended primarily from Vulgar Latin) that evolved out of the Gallo-Romance dialects spoken in northern France. The Romance languages are a group of closely related vernaculars descended from the LATIN LANGUAGE, a member of the Italic branch of INDO-EUROPEAN LANGUAGES. The designation Romance is derived from the Latin phrase romanica loqui, "to speak in Roman fashion," which attests to the popular, rather than literary, origins of the languages.

The history of the French language begins with the colonisation of Gaul by the Romans. The Celts who inhabited Gaul when the Romans came were Indo-Europeans, related to the Greeks, Romans and Germanic peoples in both culture and language.

Answer 2

The French language, as we know it today, evolved from Latin, which was introduced to Gaul by the Romans. Over time, Latin evolved into Vulgar Latin, then eventually into Old French. The standardization of French began in the 16th century with efforts to establish a national language.
