French Language Poker Software

French is the native language of over 136 million people worldwide while another 190 million speak French as their second language. It is an official language in 29 countries that are made up largely of former colonized territories of France. The language is related to Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Romanian and Catalan as direct descendants of Latin.

French has been usurped by English as the premier international language in the 20th century but through the 17th to 19th century French was the dominant language. French is still considered to be one of the most practical languages in the world due to its prevalent use in the United Nations, NATO, International Olympic Committee, Red Cross and European Court of Justice.
