French is spoken in Quebec because historically it was a French settlement. This goes back to the colonial days. As Quebec joined other provinces to form the country Canada, it retained its linguistic freedom and continued to this day. Quebec french does have differences from Parisian french, most noticeably pronounciation differences. In addition, there are many words used in Quebec which are still used today but sound archaic in international french. One example, is the word 'char' for car, however literally 'char' translates to 'chariot'.
