Useful Notes/French Language

Can somebody start French Language, maybe one of our French tropers? It's really weird that we have Useful Notes for the English, Spanish, Portuguese and German languages, but none for French, which is the third most spoken language worldwide after Spanish and English, the second most spoken Romance language after Spanish, and the primary language for the largest and second most important Western European country which is also the fourth most populated country in Europe (second if you don't count Russia and Turkey as European) and second most populated country in Western Europe after Germany, as well as a good chunk of Canada and most of Africa, not to mention Monaco, Haiti, Lebanon, parts of Southeast Asia and France's various territories worldwide. French Dialects would also be good, as there are differences between European French, Canadian French, Congolese French, etc.

This sure sounds like a daunting task.

Yup, would need to be really bored before tackling this.

I rewrote the part about grammatical gender.

This is quite time consuming, and I wonder who cares since there are lots of more useful places to learn about French language.

In this French Language page I added a section about French languages that are not standard French (such as Corsican, Breton or Provençal). Languages that are French in the sense that they exist (if probably dying) inside of France.

This may be confusing when discussing dialects of French, as in Quebec French or Guadeloupe French.
