<b><u>Did you know?</b></u><br>

<br>
 
−
There are 2 main types of French spoken in Canada:  Laurentian French and Acadian French. <br>
 
−
<br>
 
−
Canadian French contributed to the creation of a unique language: Michif. The Métis people developed this language, which combines features from French and Indigenous languages, primarily Cree. Michif is unusual in that the nouns are generally derived from French and the verbs are derived, for the most part, from Cree.<br>
