Detailed explanation-1: -Quebec is the only province whose official language is French. The capital city is Quebec City, with a population of nearly 800, 000. Quebec is also home to Canada’s second largest city, and the second largest French speaking city in the world, Montreal (more than four million people).
Detailed explanation-2: -Québécois French is based on the French spoken in Paris during the 17th and 18th centuries because during that time Europeans were colonizing the Americas and French royals sent Parisians to live in “la Nouvelle France” (aka New France which is modern-day Québec).
Detailed explanation-3: -Quebec is a French speaking province. Approximately 80 % of the residents speak French as their native language and close to 95% of “Quebecers” speak French. If you hear the term “Francophone” it refers to someone who speaks French as their native language. It is the oldest French speaking place in North America.
