When the Roman Empire ruled modern-day France, Latin was the official language. They ruled for about 600 years, so even after the Romans were defeated (486 A.D.), most people still spoke a form of Latin. The different regions developed different dialects, all Latin-based. As the Ile-de-France area (around modern-day Paris) gradually became the most powerful, its dialect started to spread. Eventually a national dialect started to develop and became modern French.

This status makes it more like an associated state than a dependency of France (similar to the relationship that the Federated States of Micronesia has with the United States).
