African French
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
French in Africa is present and spoken by many people. A great number of states in the continent of Africa speak the French language with local specificities. French arrived in Africa with colonisation from France and Belgium. These Africans are now an important part of the Francophonie.
Membership of La Francophonie does not require or imply that the French language is a primary language, or even a widely understood language, in a particular country. The names of countries that were not ruled by a Francophone colonial power at the time of their independence are italicised.
