Canadian French also known as the Quebec French, is spoken widely in Canada. Around the 16th century, the French had migrated to Canada, but around the 18th century, the British took over, but the French kept the language alive by retaining the old characteristics of the language. Making it old school French. Quebec French can sound old, but it uses more Anglicism’s (words taken from British English) than French. The words are adopted with very less or no alteration by giving it a French spelling or suffix, with idioms being directly translated. This can be a result of the Britishers taking over Canada around the 18th century. Grammatically, there are quite a few differences, Quebec French addresses people informally using an informal pronoun, while French uses a formal pronoun. There is a difference between the object pronoun and subject pronoun too. The way Quebec French and French pronounce words have some notable differences, especially in terms of vowels and pronouncing alphabets like D and T. There is also a vast difference in accent, pitch and intonation. There is a difference in terminology and language relations. In Quebec French, traditional French words have a different meaning from that in France irrespective of Quebec’s legal system is based on French civil law. Quebec French is quite strict about using English words for business purpose, but it is allowed while the French do not let so. The French use the Toubon Law, which mandates the use of French in the business context. read less
